The Significance of the “New” Commandment
The “New” Commandment, as taught by River Of Life Assemblies Int’l, is derived from the teachings of Jesus Christ. In the book of John, chapter 13, verse 34, Jesus says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” This commandment represents a shift in focus from the strict adherence to religious rituals to a deeper understanding of love and compassion.
Unconditional Love and Compassion
At River Of Life Assemblies Int’l, we believe that the “New” Commandment emphasizes the importance of loving one another unconditionally, just as Jesus loved us. This love goes beyond personal preferences, social divisions, and cultural boundaries. It is an inclusive love that embraces all individuals, regardless of their background, race, or beliefs.
This commandment encourages us to extend this love and compassion to everyone we encounter, both within our faith community and beyond. By practicing acceptance, forgiveness, and kindness, we create a positive impact on the lives of others and foster unity within our society.
