The commandment to love is the most important commandment....
One commandment has been given to you humans, the fulfilment of which is your sole purpose of life on earth.... the commandment of love for God and neighbour.... When the man Jesus lived on earth He declared this commandment to be the most important one, because people at that time completely ignored it, because they were so deeply rooted in selfish love that it paved the way for all vices and desires and thus they also developed in the most alarming way and also led to complete unbelief. And if people were to be helped, if they were to be led onto the right path and to firm faith in God, they first had to try to change their strongly developed self-love into neighbourly love, because only love meant salvation for their souls and because faith could also develop out of love and only then could an understanding for the significance of Jesus' act of salvation be expected.... Love is and remains the fundamental law from eternity.... But as soon as humanity is devoid of all love, it is also completely out of order and close to ruin. When Jesus walked the earth He knew about people's spiritual low and also knew how to remedy this low.... And thus His mission consisted first of all of exemplifying a life of love to people and of using the resulting spiritual abilities again for the blessing of His fellow human beings, in order to also bring them help in earthly adversity and thereby also prove to them what strength love is.... And therefore He also constantly preached only love.... He sought to educate people into a right way of life, He wanted to bring them earthly and spiritual help at the same time because their state was a pitiful one which irrevocably plunged people into the abyss which they did not recognize in their blindness. So Jesus taught love.... And His gospel actually only consisted of that commandment of love for God and neighbour, for all references, all details, only ever referred to the rightly guided way of life which was clearly pointed out to them and which Jesus Himself visibly lived out to all people.... Nevertheless, the commandment of love for God and neighbour is not a 'commandment' in the true sense of the word.... For love cannot be 'commanded', it must be practiced in free will, it cannot be replaced by works which can also be done without love.... but in turn it will express itself in works, because love urges activity. Jesus therefore showed people on earth what is necessary if a person wants to acquire eternal life. But man himself must now kindle love in himself. It is not enough that he feigns love through works which certainly bring help to his neighbour.... he must feel the need to help his neighbour, only then will his self-love be violated, and only then will he thereby also prove his love for God.... But the human being can develop love within himself through initially mechanical works, the person who first fulfils the 'commandment' can also educate himself to love, and this is what the man Jesus sought to achieve through His gospel of love, for a pure ego man needs a bridge from his previous point of view to unselfish neighbourly love. He first has to be urged to help his neighbour until he will do so of his own accord, but then a slow change has already taken place which is now constantly progressing, as well as God Himself has now gained influence over him through love. Love for God and the neighbour is the greatest and most important commandment.... And therefore Jesus' teaching of love must always precede all teachings, because love is also the key to all further knowledge which remains incomprehensible to people without love.... Love is everything, and whoever has love, his fate is already sealed for all eternity. And where love is preached with all urgency, there the eternal love Itself will also be represented on earth, there the spirit of truth will also be, and there understanding for Jesus Christ's act of salvation and its significance will also be.... For love is also the light which illuminates the spirit of those who preach love and live in love themselves....

ZAPOVED LJUBEZNI JE GLAVNA ZAPOVED (PRED VSEMI OSTALIMI)....
Vam ljudem je dana edina zapoved, izpolnjevanje katere je edini namen zemeljskega življenja.... zapoved Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega.... Dokler je človek Jezus hodil po Zemlji, je to zapoved pokazal kot glavno in najpomembnejšo, ker so ljudje tistega časa to povsem zanemarili; bili so namreč tako globoko ukoreninjeni v samoljubju, da je bila s tem odprta pot vsem pregreham in pohotam, da so se tako one tudi razvijale na najgrozovitejši način in so vodile do popolne nevere.
Da bi se tako ljudem pomagalo, da bi bili usmerjeni na pravo pot in da bi prišli do trdne vere v Boga, se morajo najprej potruditi, da svoje močno razvito samoljubje spremenijo v Ljubezen do bližnjega, ker njihovim dušam edino Ljubezen prinaša odrešenje in ker se iz Ljubezni lahko razvije tudi vera, in šele tedaj se lahko pričakuje dojemanje (razumevanje) pomena Jezusovega dela odrešenja.... Ljubezen je in tudi ostaja temeljni zakon večnosti; toda ker je človeštvo brez Ljubezni, je ono popolnoma izpadlo iz reda in je blizu propada.
Ko je Jezus hodil po Zemlji, je vedel za duhovno depresijo (najnižjo točko) ljudi, kakor je tudi vedel, kako bi se to depresijo lahko ozdravilo.... Tako da je bilo Njegovo poslanstvo predvsem v tem, da bi ljudem s primerom pokazal življenje Ljubezni in da bi bilo iz teh rezultirajočih duhovnih sposobnosti zopet moč izvleči koristi na blagoslov bližnjih, da bi se jim v zemeljski težavi prineslo pomoč, s tem pa bi tudi dokazal to, kakšna sila je Ljubezen.... In zaradi tega je On neprestano oznanjal Ljubezen....
On se je trudil, da bi ljudi vzgojil za pravilen način življenja, obenem pa jim je tudi želel prinesti zemeljsko in duhovno pomoč, ker so se oni nahajali v obžalovanja vrednem stanju, katero je ljudi povsem zagotovo strmoglavilo v prepad, katerega pa oni v svoji sleposti niso prepoznali. Torej Jezus je učil Ljubezen.... Njegov Evangelij je bil pravzaprav sestavljen samo iz te zapovedi Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega; vsa napotila, vsi podrobni podatki so se vedno nanašali edino na pravilen način življenja, kateri jim je bil jasno in glasno pokazan in katerega je Sam Jezus z vidnim primerom življenja pokazal vsem ljudem....
Poleg tega pa tudi ta zapoved Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega ni nikakršna »zapoved« v pravem pomenu besede.... Ljubezni namreč ni mogoče »zapovedati«; Ona mora biti prakticirana v svobodni volji, Njo ni mogoče zamenjati z deli, katera se lahko izvajajo tudi brez Ljubezni.... čeprav pa se ona ravno tako izraža v delih, ker Ljubezen spodbuja na delovanje. Torej Jezus je na Zemlji pokazal to, kar je nujno, če človek želi priti do večnega življenja. Vendar pa mora človek v sebi prižgati Ljubezen. Ni dovolj, da on simulira Ljubezen preko del, katera bližnjemu sicer resda prinašajo koristi.... vendar pa mora on v sebi imeti (čutiti) potrebo, da pomaga svojemu bližnjemu; šele tedaj bo zoper njegovega samoljubja uporabljena sila in šele tedaj on obenem tudi dokazuje Ljubezen do Boga....
Čeprav pa človek lahko preko začetnega avtomatskega delovanja Ljubezen v sebi pripelje do razvoja. Človek, ki najprej izpolnjuje »zapoved«, sebe lahko vzgoji (nauči) v Ljubezni. To je tisto, kar se je človek Jezus trudil doseči preko Svojega Evangelija Ljubezni; čisti egoist namreč potrebuje spremembo iz svojega prejšnjega stališča v nesebično Ljubezen do bližnjega. On mora najprej prejeti spodbudo za to, da pomaga njegovemu bližnjemu, vse dokler to ne dela iz lastne (s)podbude; tedaj pa je že prišlo do neke manjše spremembe, katera se potem nenehno nadaljuje, ko je Sam Bog preko Ljubezni pridobil vpliv na njega.
Ljubezen do Boga in do bližnjega je največja in glavna zapoved (Matej 22:40).... in zato je Jezusovo učenje Ljubezni vedno potrebno postaviti na prvo mesto v vseh učenjih, ker je Ljubezen ključ tudi do vseh nadaljnjih znanj, katera brez Ljubezni ljudem ostajajo nerazumljiva (Filipljanom 1:9).... Ljubezen je vse, in kdor ima Ljubezen, je njegova usoda že zapečatena za celotno večnost. In kjer se z vsemi močmi oznanja Ljubezen, tam je na Zemlji ravno tako zastopana Večna Ljubezen (Bog Osebno – Jezus Kristus); tam je obenem tudi Duh Resnice (Janez 14:15-17; 15:26), kakor je bilo tam ravno tako dojeto delo Odrešenja Jezusa Kristusa in pomembnost le tega.... Ljubezen je namreč tudi svetloba (luč, prosvetljenje, modrost, dojemanje), katera razsvetljuje duha tistim, ki oznanjajo Ljubezen in tudi sami živijo v Ljubezni....
