And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1 John 4:21 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
If we truly love God we should also love our brother. When we say brother it means not only our siblings but also our neighbors, friends, strangers we meet along the way and even our adversaries. We should try to love them just like we love ourselves. I'm reminded of a verse on the bible about God's two greatest commandments, (1.) love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind; and (2.) love your neighbor as yourself [Matthew 22:36-39]. So, it's important that we love our fellow beings because we are all created by God.
