Before divulging the one-word answer I have, here are some lengthier reasons for loving my neighbor (and my brother) as I ought:
- I have been born of God.
- I know God.
- God loves me.
- God dwells in me.
- God’s love is perfected in me.
- I dwell in God.
- As God is, so am I in this world.
- God loved me first.
- I love God.
- God commands it.
