Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
i think He calls it a new commandment because looking at all the other ten commandment that were revealed to Moses in Mt. Sinai, they all rotate around love for God and man, so i would say it`s a summary of the ten. And also, it because it is impossible to love what we do not see ''God'' if we cant love what we see and have around us''one another''. thank you.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Jesus called this a new Commandement because if we look at the Commandements that were given to us this was not included and so people were not following this commandement because it was not given to them. So Jesus our Lord knew this and that is why he gave this new Commandement to us sothat we can follow it and obey it as we do to the other Commandements

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
The Shema is a prayer that Jews pray every morning and evening. It includes, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and might. Jesus transformed the Shema prayer to now include And love one another as yourself. That it is why its a new command.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment
I believe that when something is new it is cherished, until the novelty wears off, however everytime we read that it is a New commandment, we are reminded of a Newness of love that is never allowed to run dry or never allowed to grow weary, it is always new, as God`s love is always new. We know that when we first fall in love we long to give of ourselves to the other person, in the same way, we are ready to give of ourselves to those who God commands us to love. Love holds no grudges, it is kind and gentle, we are to love one another without compromise, we have to forget past grievances and continue with God`s commandment of love. We are to love those who dishonor us, dispitefully use us, and remember that we need to reflect Christ in us, for the Bible says that if we only love those who love us, of what gain is it to us?. But if we love those who hate us there is a reward. God gave His Son because He loved the world''man'', the same way we cannot keep love it has to be given.

Love
Hello dear friends.I have been trying to read my bible and somehow I have come to understand that we are called children of God b`se of his love. Like the bible says that for he loved us somuch that he gave his only begotten son that however believes him should not perish but have eternal life ''John 3:16''.I have come to understand that it`s love that can take us to heaven.loving one another as you love yourself this is why even the bible tells us that what we want other people to do for us, we should do it for them because for Jesus knew that we love ourselves so much and in that we should give it back to others without descrimination.Love is really too big but the bible emphasizes us to try as much as possible to love one another as the father loves us.

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.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Did He not loved Us even when we were wrong before Him? Yes! He did loved us and said a simple prayer of forgivessness on the cross for us before he left. He gave us an example to follow of how to love one another as He loved us. God gave us His Son as a Love token of His Love for Us that we are all Forgiven and How much we are loved in the eyes and heart of the Lord. Should we not ought to love in return? Jesus said Love one another as I have Loved You. It was not us who loved Him first, it was Him who loved Us first. He gave up His life for You! What does that tell you! To me, His actions spoke louder than words could be expressed. He was beaten for my transgressions and was wounded for my iniquities and sins. In return He gave up His life for me because he was telling me that no matter what I Love You, you are my Beloved!
