Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
It is called a new commandment because the previous ones, if someone hates you , you arenot expected to love Him back.But the Lord doesnot work that way.He has to love us with no return, therefore, as Jesus`s deciples we should go along with this new rule, that we love one another, as he loved us.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
When we are born again, we are the new creation with Jesus Christ in our hearts. From the bigining, God created man out of love and gave man dominion to rule ''Genesis 1 Vs 26-27'' . Man was put in the garden of eden '' Genesis 2'' and later man sinned against God and separation arose. With the everlasting love of God, He gave man ten commandments to follow through Moses at mount Sinai. Man continued desobeying God but God love the world and gave His begoten son that who so ever believe in Him should have everlasting life'' John 3 Vs 16''. Jesus gave the new commandment to love one another and extend the same love to our neighbours to cover the whole commandment of the old testament. Jesus instructed His followers to love one another with all of hearts, soul and mind even the enemies with the intention to win many to Christ.Jesus call this commandment new because you only became the deciple of God when you are born again and practice the love of God. For belivers to be great in spreading the word of God, they Should be able to offer thier bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God through the love of God. Remember that Jesus has bridged the gap and man is able to fellowship with God again.

There was the Ten Commandments but Jesus said not to get rid of the Commandments but to add to them and He added to Love One Another.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
I think since Jesus was speaking largely to Jewish audiences and the 10 commandments passed down from God to Moses were so important in their faith tradition, Jesus calls his instruction to Love One Another a commandment. He is saying to his Jewish audience - this is important - it is on par with the 10 commandments and it is from God the Father. Honoring the 10 commandments is central to the faith tradition of the Jewish people, Jesus is saying Love One Another is central to Christianity.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
In todays world, we see wars, murders, fighting, child abusing, women being abuse, etc......... All these shows us that love does not exist. I believe all these things not only happen in todays world but long ago even in Jesus` time. Jesus foresee all these things will happen as the world is full of sinners. In order to avoid all these matter, Jesus commanded us to love one another especially our enemy. If most of us can follow this command, the world will have peace. If everyone reflect God`s love, I believe a lot of sinners will be save as they will be able to see God`s love and all the wonderful things He has done for us.
