Why does Jesus call "Love One Another" a "New" commandment?

To Love One Another comprises the other entire commandment apart from to serving the Lord God alone. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the great and foremost commandment.”And a second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 22:37) This means that when we love each other, we wouldn’t sin against ourselves. E.g. when we love our neighbor we would not steal from him or wrong him in anyway.  Also Jesus gave us anew commandment and I quote (John 13:34) "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another".

Matthew 7:12 "Whatever you want others to do for you, do so for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets”. Even Jesus taught how to love our own enemies us our own selves. In (Luke 6:35) “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward in heaven will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men".

I will conclude by saying LOVE in the greatest so we should try as much as possible to LOVE OURSELVES.

God Bless You All.

Thank you.

Mercy.

What is the Kingdom of God?

The biblical concept of the kingdom of God also occasionally takes on a special sense. Jesus described this narrower sense of the kingdom of in this way: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt 6:10). God’s holiness and glory in his heavenly throne room is so overwhelming that all creatures there honor him with unqualified voluntary service.

The New Testament teaches that this final worldwide stage of the kingdom of God began with the personification of Christ. He and John the Baptist announced the good news that the Kingdom was at hand (Matt. 3:2; 4:17; Mark 1:15). But contrary to common Jewish expectations, Jesus and his apostles explained that the worldwide reign of God on earth would not come immediately in all of its fullness. Instead, Christ inaugurated this final stage of the kingdom in his earthly ministry (Matt. 2:2; 4:23; Mark 15:2; Luke 16:16; 23:3; John 18:37). It continues today in the church ( Rom. 14:16-17; 1 Cor. 4:19-20), but it will reach its ultimate end when Christ returns in glory (1 Cor. 15:50-58). When that day finally comes, the will of God will be done throughout the earth just as it is done in heaven.

In conclusion, the Kingdom of God is very near so we must all be prepared for it by doing the will of God. So as to enjoy at the end of the world.

Does God love me?
Yes He does, that is why He sent His only Son to bring me salvation. He also invites me to come to Him so that He will give me rest for free. No amount of money will be paid.

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?

Yes He believe, because John 1:12 says "as many who recieved Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believe in His name. This means Jesus didn't come for High/Low but He came for everyone, just believe in Him and you will be save.

Also in Luke 1:1, Jesus said when the rich people wants to give gifts out, they shouldn't give them to the those who repay them, but they should give to the poor and needy poeple who cannot pay them back with anything, so that they will be blessed and repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

In Luke 7:36-50, the woman who anoited Jesus is a sinner, but her faith saved her. I believe even if you are a sinner and wants to follow Christ, He is ever ready to accept you. According tp John 5:24, it is written that "verily, verily i say unto you, he that hears my word and believes in Him that sent me, has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death. Romans 10:13 also says "for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved".

I will conclude by saying Jesus came for all no matter your social status.
