On these two commandments hang all the law.
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
Some have confused this to mean the law of Moses, which was added to the Covenant, temporarily, until the Seed should come.
Love is the sum of His commandments.
If we murder our neighbor, do we love him?
If we worship other gods, is that loving God?
If we steal from our neighbor, is that love?
If we make carved images and bow down to them, is that loving God?
If we are coveting our neighbors things, that is idolatry.
Loving God and loving our neighbor, is a choice.
Love is a verb, not a noun; a thing
Love requires obeying; if you love me, keep my commandments.
We love God, by obeying His commandment to love our neighbor.
20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
1 John 4:20-21
The way we love God who we can not see, is by loving our neighbor who we can see.
Love does no harm.
Jesus says it this way on the Day of Judgement -
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Matthew 25:34-40

As quickly as I am willing to forgive and overlook it, I do not appreciate being accused of things I never said.
