Why does Jesus call "Love One Another" a "New" commandment?
Jesus had lived with his disciples and have lived by example for them (and als us today) to see and take heed.   Before his crucifixion, Jesus wanted to make sure that his disciples know what kind of love he had displayed and demonstrated.   His disciples (and also us today) have to understand that demontrated love of Christ is a challenge to us.   He calls it a new commandment because he wants and desire to see his disciples (and us today) practice and demonstrate his kind of love towards others.   This 'love one another' means living in peace and acceptance with each other but most importanly living in peace and acceptance with those who will not dare do the same for them and will mistreat them for the work of Christ.   Jesus set the commandment in preparing his deisciples (and us today) for the challenge of doing his work and glorifying his name in this world

What is the Kingdom of God?

The biblical meaning of the Kingdom of God in the context of the words of Jesus has been a subject of many different interpretations by different preachers.   The Kingdom of God is essentially where God – Jesus dwells and reigns.   As stated in Luke 17:20-21, the Kingdom of God is an invisible kingdom.   This is a spiritual Kingdom that God – Jesus rules and reigns and this could mean our spiritual Hearts and lives.   Once we have accepted God into our lives as Christ and Savior, the Kingdom of God is essentially our livelihood and although invisible, God’s Kingdom becomes visible through our actions, characters, responses, and lives as believers and Christians.

"According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?"
To be loved by God is something that we as believers experience everyday of our lives since we came into this world.   God has not onlygiven us life but also the opportunity to have eternal life through the salvation of Jesus on the Cross.   God love is evident in everything surrounding us.  However, we have to live in His ways and walk in His footsteps to completely realize how huge God's love is for us.
