Why does Jesus call "Love One Another" a "New" commandment?
Because when we become a new creation, after accepting Jesus as our Lord & Savior, we have a new beginning and to love the Lord with all our heart and we all our soul is and will always be the first Commandment, but to love one another is "new" because only through Jesus and from Jesus we can learn how to love with that unselfish love that is so easy to give to the ones that you love but so hard to give when that person is mean or, even, your enemy.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.

The Lord's love is hard for me to measure.

It is beyond my own comprehension, especially when He loves me as a sinner, and I have hard time to love my enemies.

But, that forgiveness that I receive from God daily, makes me try to change and be better every day.

The burden God removes when we cry out to Him is huge so my love to Jesus is endless, sincere and grows every day.

How do Jesus` words make you feel? You may want to save your answer as "Private"

I feel thankful, greatly thankful for the huge love Jesus has for us, and especially for me.

Also I feel sometimes that I dont deserve so much love as I havent been able to be the type of christian I would love to be.

But I know the Lord is mercyful and patient and I am still trying........

What is the Kingdom of God?
We are the kingdom of God. As christians, believing and following the Word, having a close relationship with the Lord, we belong and we are part of the Kingdom or God.   Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become part of the Kingdom of God. And, through our actions, we show to the world the love, mercy, glory and power of the King of Kings.

"According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?"

He loves us in a way, we will never be able to love.

He accepts us as sinners, He leaves the 99 sheep to go after that one that is lost.

 Jesus paid that ultimate price on the Cross just for us, the sinners.

There is no words to express thanks enough for that sacrifice.

Being loved by God is a blessing that we should thank every day, every minute for.
