Love Your Neighbor

For the person who does not show kindness and love towards his brother 'does no know God, for God is love' (1 John 4 :8), as John the son of thunder and beloved disciple of Christ proclaims; and he adds that if Christ, the Saviour of all, 'laid down His soul for us, then we ought to lay down our souls for our brethren' (1 john 3 : 16).
