Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Jesus calls Love One Another a New commandment in the sense that Jesus summarizes & simplifies 6 of the original Ten commandments. This enable us to understand more of the Laws of God. By simply Loving One Another, automatically means following the 5th to the 10th commandment.

A commandment makes any statement an order which no one wants to disobey.To love each other is not an easy task as it is said`.The man who is always self centered and self oriented finds it extremely difficult to love another person the way he wants to be loved by others..And even if he loves , it will not be genuine for the emotion of `lust` is mixed with it..In short, man is materialistic.. Jesus made this mandatory to man so that he obeys his teaching..hence it is been said as a command.

Jesus said love one another because on this depend the whole law because if we love one another we would not hurt them and do bad things towards them and also by loving others means loving God and adoring Him.

Why does Jesus call ``Love One Another`` a ``New`` commandment?
It is new because the first ten commandments did not upon this fact. The commandments deal with the relationship of the one to one own`s actions. Because loving one another is the only way to appease the strife and worries of this world. Not seeing eye to eye is a terrible thing that keeps us from attaining the ultimate peace in this world! Amen

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
To love and to be love in return is the desire of every one and when we don't seems to be loved we start to be have a little funny. Be fore you think you are in love you need to know and understand the difference between TRUE LOVE and INFATUATION,,. So many mistakes this feeling of INFATUATIONS with LOVE and that is why they keep falling in and out of love as long as this feeling comes and go, they often behave like those ones we consider mental disorder and claims they are in LOVE... Before they could know and realize it they have fallen out of LOVE and trying to fall in love again. LOVE is not some kind of a place we fall into, LOVE is not all about those words we say, those feelings we had. LOVE is all about what we do, though love may often start with feelings but it often becomes what we do. TRUE LOVE must grow. LOVE, all my life I have dreamt of it, waited for it, longed for it, search for it, sing for it, cried for it, hoped for it, prayed for it etc. I have come to know that there can never be a true more than the one God have for us by offering us His only son.On may have all, do and even go as far as been the light to the poor but without love is all vanity..... All things on earth will, for nothing last forever and no one can live forever and life must go one.......... Above all this there one thing that never ends and that is love. Love hurts, to love is dangerous and pain may be love but true love endures all things....... In all you do always remember that INFATUATION is not LOVE. Pain may be love, love hurts, to love is dangerous and loving brings a lot of harm to one but TRUE LOVE endures all things. Build on TRUE LOVE because INFATUATION is not LOVE,,,,,.. There is now law greater than the New commandment of love because love is the greatest weapon on earth. Is the new commandment because without love life would have been a mistake

To make a point of loving one another. I think he wanted loving one another to be stronger than just saying it. If everyone loved one another the world would be a better place.
