one of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

now at this point Jesus could tell that this was a trap. but Jesus, as we all know, is the wisest of us all.

"The most important one," Jesus answered, "is this: O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

"well said teacher, "the man replied. " You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

when Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, " You are not far from the kingdom of God." And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.

1John 4:7 says

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

1 John 4:8

whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:16

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love.

1 John 4:20

If anyone says,  "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Jesus has given us all many commandments, but he says the most important one is to love. I hope you learn to love everyone. even your enemies.

 Jesus loves you.
