Loving Your Neighbor

DAY 2 OF 5

Love Your Brother as Yourself

Understanding this command takes time. It starts with loving ourselves—not in a selfish way, but in a way that preserves our soul and aligns us with God. When we truly care for ourselves, we can then extend that same love to others.

If you don’t love yourself—if you don’t protect your heart from evil—how can you love others? Understanding what God wants from us makes this much easier. Keeping His word close to our hearts teaches us how to love. Jesus gave countless examples—not just through His teachings, but through His actions. We are called to do the same.

“For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Galatians 5:14).

Our actions speak louder than our words.

About this Plan

Loving Your Neighbor

Loving your neighbor was central to Jesus’ teachings — second only to loving God. But “neighbor” doesn’t just mean friends or people we like. It includes everyone: the difficult, the broken, even those who wrong us. Jesus modeled this by loving sinners, outsiders, and asking forgiveness for His enemies. This devotional calls us to reflect that same love in real ways — feeding the hungry, forgiving freely, and letting go of judgment. True love starts with knowing God, caring for ourselves, and allowing that love to overflow into action. Loving others isn’t optional — it’s how we live like Jesus.
