In Matthew 22:36-39, a Pharisee asked Jesus, “Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the Law?” And Jesus said to him, “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 first commandment. And a second is like it: You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The kind of love expressed in both of
these laws is agape love. In regards to the second commandment, this love
seeks for the greatest good for our neighbor. By way of definition, “neighbor”
in this passage refers to anyone who is around us: our actual neighbor or the
person at the desk next to us at work. Here are 7 practical tips for loving your
neighbor as yourself.
In order to really focus on loving others, we have to constantly be aware of
how much Jesus loves us by how He laid His life down for us on the cross.
When we are thankful for Him, we can really express the love needed to
plant the seed into an unbeliever’s heart.
Seek Out Your Neighbor
In Ezekiel 34:16a, God says, I will seek out the lost, and I will bring back the
strayed. God does this so many times through his flock. Jesus did not spend
His time around the saved, but the unsaved. We should model our lives after
His. Seek out someone that God has placed on your heart. Seek them and
love them for who they are, not for who you want them to be. Jesus ate with
tax collectors, he talked with prostitutes and spent time with the sick. His
reputation was not even a factor. He spent time with them because He loved
them unconditionally. We have to put pride and our reputations down at the
cross if we want to truly love others.
