The greatest is Love
The love of God sets apart Christianity form ever other belief. This is the foundation of the Gospel - the love ''sacrifice'' that God made for mankind. god therefore puts us as believers in a position to learn from him and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to display this great love. By this we identify with Christ and are then are identified by others as christians. Jesus said You shall know them by their fruits and the greatest fruit of a christian is love. Love then leads to service, to serve your neighbor and to put needs in a position of last. Jesus was very outspoken on the act of serving and he went great lenghts to ensure the messagge was understood.

I do believe...I experienced
I do believe in Jesus Christ ..that he is the savior...that he loves us and came to serve us and died for our sins...I believe that what I ask from him is given..I believe in his words that he will be coming back....I experienced that feeling of closeness between me and the hily spirit..because I can feel my heart totally pressed lightly that I could drop a tear from my eyes...I missed that feeling ..that was when I started my christian life..before I backslided..

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Perhaps because it is somewhat a summary of all the commandments. Because if we love God, we will love one another, and if that is so then we will not commit sin against God or against other people.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST IS LOVE
Love one another because Jesus Christ is love. People can tell the true christians from the false christians because they love one another. I must love Jesus Christ to be a christian. Love God with your heart ''raphael to heal'', mind ''uriel light and thought'' and soul ''michael, prince of peace and prayer'' and strength ''gabriel art and communication''. Love gives freedom. Hate gives violence and oppression. Praise God, jesus and the holy spirit and obey the law. These two things give you a life of freedom.

No one understand love your nabour as your self and they did not know how deep to go with this commandment.When Jesus demonstrated it to them they thought it was a new thing.But He just show them how deep to go.It is to wash each others feet.

Jesus call Love one another a new commandment becasue loving one another help us to know what God is to us. Just as Jesus told us in ''john13:34''that we should love one another as he as loved us so that we can be his disciples.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
although Jesus already ascended to the father`house, He promise us the Holy spirit. to be our guide, councilor and helper.it does not mean that were already complete.if our biological father is gone who will gonna take care of us. surely no one exept for our selves.that is why Christ Jesus say love one another, to fill up from others the missing things in our lives, our indivual weaknesses will becomes strength if we work together. we are onebody in Christ, no man can stand alone.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Well, after Jesus came into this world, everything turned on to new, that simple is the answer. New testament, New world, New creation, New covenant...so why not new commandment? When Jesus comes into us, the old goes away and see everything becomes new. We can read this in 2 Corinthians 5: 17. Jesus came to save us from our sins and gave us only two simple commandments, whereas in the Old Testament we find ten. As we all know, the 2 commandments Jesus gave mankind are `You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.` This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.` On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets. - Matt 22:37. When we read these two commndments and then move on to the old commandments, we see that the first 3 commandments which God gave to mankind, come into the 1st commandment which Jesus gave to mankind. And the next 7 commandments, which God gave to the mankind, come into the 2nd commandment which Jesus gave to the mankind. Jesus condensed the 10 commandments into 2 commandments. Hence a new commandment arose of loving one another. Loving one another includes respecting and loving our parents...; not killing others through our words or actions, not aborting children; not committing adultery...; not stealing others peace, happiness, fame, joy, money, ..etc; not going to the court against others, not hating them, not cursing them, not hurting them...; not coveting neighbour`s wife or any other relation.....; not coveting neighbour`s goods... So let`s understand this new commandment, Jesus has given us and follow it in our lives. Love our brothers and sisters and forgive them.
