Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
In addition to the 10 commandments that the Lord gave Moses to give to the people, He proclaimed `Love One Another` as a new commandment because this is the most important & above all other commandments. Even if we keep all the other commandments but we dont have love for our fellow beings in our heart, then we could never please the Lord.

How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment?
Jesus commands us that if we truly love Him dearly, we should obey His commandments & please Him. We should fulfill these wishes not out of fear but out of our love for our Lord, just like we would do anything for those whom we love most dearly here on earth.

If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss?
If I had the chance to meet Jesus face-to-face, I would ask Him to teach me all that I need to know to constantly seek His grace. I would ask Him how I could gain the strength to fight the temptations of satan without falling weak & thereby to die to sin & live in a state of heavenly peace.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
We are granted forgiveness by God, not once, twice or seventy times seven; but whenever we repent & go to the Lord with a regretful heart even though we end up falling weak & committing mistakes again. Our Father in heaven forgives us like this only because He has a never ending love for us. A realisation of this love is made deeper when the Lord forgives us & thus, this would increase the love in our hearts for Him & will fill us with a strong desire to live according to His will only.

What is the Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God is nothing which this world would consider precious as Jesus says in the gospel of John but it is for us as followers of Christ to realise that it is much more valuable than anything this life can offer.
