"Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
I do not believe so.  Jesus knew when his time would come.  Jesus was completing what he needed to accomplish before the time of his murder came, including exposing the leaders of their wrong doing and reminding them of the scriptures that they chose to ignore.

Why does Jesus call "Love One Another" a "New" commandment?
Jesus was saying to his disciples that they now would be the (new) teachers of love and kindness to one another by Jesus example of his love to them (disciples) and us by sacrificing himself on our behalf for everlasting life.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
God created me because he loved me and has a purpose for me to fulfill.  I was born with the mark of sin.  Aware of our sinful nature, and because of God's love for me/us, God chose to forgive me/us through his birth, death and resurrection.  Our belief in and love for God promises me/us eternal life.  God did not have to do this, God so loved us he gave is only Son.   God's forgiveness and love is unmeasurable, more than we deserve, more than we can understand or fathom.  Therefore,  how can anyone NOT love God for this great and wonderful gift"  Nothing we do can ever make up for or compare to what God has done for us.  We must be thankful and sing our praises to the Lord our God for loving us first.

What is the Kingdom of God?
The kingdom of God is the day that God again rules over the heavens and the earth and satan will no longer exist to disrupt and mislead.  God will be on his throne and we will give glory and sing praises to his name, power, and might.
