Love God - Love Your Brother



Galatians 5:14 the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

1 John 4:15-21  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16  So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17  By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
18  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
19  We love because he first loved us.
20  If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21  And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Luke 16:19  “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
20  And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,......
22  The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. ..... 
 Luke 16:23-28 ((while being tormented in the flames of Hades, the rich man looks up and sees Lazarus beside Abraham, asks Abraham to send Lazarus to him to give him some water. Abraham tells rich man he received good things and Lazarus bad things while alive, and now there is a "great chasm" between them and no one can cross the chasm from either side.  Rich man begs Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his five brothers.))
Luke 16:29-31  But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’
30  And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31  He said to him,If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
