According to Romans 13:9, the commandments can be summed up in a single command, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself"...
That's a pretty amazing scripture and really shows the importance of loving others. It says in verse 8 that "he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one's fellowmen, meeting all of its requirements]" Amplified version. I won't get into a discussion about who our "neighbor" is, but if you read Luke 10:25-37, you will find that same question being posed to Jesus and you can read his response.
I think the point is to Love Others. In Romans 13:10 we read that "Love does no wrong to one's neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore, love meets all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the Law." Amplified version
When you go about your day, I challenge you to ask yourself if your actions are being done in love. Like it says in I Corinthians 16:14, "Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God's love for us)" Amplified version.
