"Love your neighbor" in the Bible: Matthew 22:37-40
We're all heard the Biblical commend to "love your neighbor as yourself"--but have you ever stopped to think about how profoundly this attitude would change the world if we all carried it out? Jesus summed up the entire point of God's law in two phrases, and both of them--loving God, and loving our neighbors--are all about putting the needs of others before our own.
