    If you use Lifeway for Adult Sunday School; the next section is titled "How to Love your Neighbor"

    The introduction states:

    Love. It is the fulfillment of all God's laws. It's greater than any spiritual gift you could have. It;s part of why you are on earth. It's even what Jesus said would confirm that we are His disciples.
    Lets be honest. It's not always easy to love those around us. We live in an "age of rage," a time when social media controversies are part of life and people regularly spew harsh and hateful words to one another. Yet, the follower of Christ is to be different. Scripture's command to love one another sets Jesus's followers apart from those who don't know Him.
    Join me for this six-session study that builds on the great commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Prepare to ask yourself the tough questions. Prepare to practically serve and love others in your family, your church and your community.
    Prepare to grow in God's love.

    The six lessons are entitled:
    1) Who is your neighbor
    2) What does love look like
    3) Pray for your neighbor
    4) Honor Your Neighbor
    5) Forgive your Neighbor
    6) Share Christ with your Neighbor


    I would like to add on thing.
    Our Neighbors also include our social media friends.
    Lets give proper love and respect to those we have met on
    Facebook and other social media.

    I have a FB friend - politically we are so far apart -it is unbelievable.
    If I were to say that the moon is made out of cheese, she would say that
    the moon is made out of metal!
    So I do I continue to be her FB friend? She is not a Christian and needs the Lord.

    @Salty,
    The command, Leviticus 19:18, ,". . . thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: . . ." Is Law. And it's first commandment, Deuteronomy 6:5, ". . . thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, . . ." means the love one has for one's neighbor is with God's love, having given all one's love to God.
    And of course the purpose of the law is to show is our need for the Savior. Romans 3:19, etc.
