Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
In the Old Testament, anyone who commits sin was punished and people commiting adultery were stoned. The approach of the people was `an eye a for an eye and a tooth for a tooth`, People hardly learn to love one another. But when Jesus came into this world, He introduced a new principle i.e. to love one another. Before the coming of Jesus, people were taught to love their neighbour and hate their enemies but Jesus modified the rule into forgiving and loving their own enemies, and praying for them` which was totally a new commandment.No one knew this commandment or followed this commandment, so Jesu even set us an example on the cross by forgiving and praying for those who presecuted Him.

If a situation occurs where a very efficient and influential missionary, involved in a big mission,should lay down his life for a drug addict who is worthless for living, so should the missionary sacrifice his own life for such person?

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
it is not in the original commandment, the original commandment uses man as a yardstick whereas the new commandment uses christ i.e perfect love as the yardstick.

Love One Another
God`s love for us is total, and it reaches out to the entire world! God`s love is long for it covers us for length of our lives, and it is high for it reaches to the height of our celebrations. His love for us is deep for it reaches to the depths of despair and discouragement. God`s love for us is always with us through out all of our experiences in this life. To return the question Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment? For it is written; God is love. whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in Him. 1 John 4: 16 Jesus said ; these things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:17 So; Above all things have fervent love for one another, for Love will cover a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 Also when we live a life filled with love for each other we become filled with the fruit of the spirit.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
the coming of Jesus himself is a new commandment and LOVE is a great thing in God sight. without love human being can not be saved, the bible says :God so loved the world that he send his beloved son Jesus. In this biblical passage we can see the word LOVE , So without love anything you might do for the work of GOD is meaningless.when Jesus call love one and another a new commandmend, he wants to show us the importance of love in the midst of the people of God
