In his book "Absolute Surrender" Andrew Murray pointed out that one of the commands of Christ Jesus is to "Love one another," and he related to when love first stopped in the world... It was when Adam "got defensive and critical with Eve, and when she ate the forbidden fruit."
And so, on and on, lack of love was prevalent in this world (even carried over after Noah and his family were the only eight people to survive the flood.)
And Father, Who is love
…..Father sent His Son to pay for all man's "unloving" and later to send the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of love) to be available for ANY person who is BORN AGAIN (their self dies, and a cleansed and a loving spirit enters them, (Luke 4:18-19, John 19:30)) when they are "grafted into the True Vine" (Lord Jesus …. Who is love!) by Father ……
Christ (the Messiah) is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh {and} new has come!
The Truth (Lord Jesus) HAS set ALL born again believers free, BUT man is deceived by Satan into thinking, "I have to strive and put in lots of effort to be a born again believer!"……
But Christ Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life …. The Truth will (and has) set you free!"….. So be as a grafted in branch of the Vine, RESTING IN HIM AND RECEIVING MOMENT BY MOMENT ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO LIVE STRONG AND PRODUCE HIS FRUIT.
Commanding Satan, "In Lord Jesus' name Get behind Me, Satan! You are in my way [an offense and a hindrance and a snare to me]."
BECAUSE
(Gal 2:20) I have been (spiritually) crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' (the Son of God's) blood and righteousness …. which moment by moment is spiritually flowing into me. (Into us, Father's children.)
His love overcomes all things – Father HAS supplied His armour, so simply stand! (Eph 6:10-17) and call out "Thank You Father! Thank You Lord Jesus!" and
(This commandment of Jesus summarises all the others.)
"My command is this: "Love each other as I have loved you," (John 15:12) and Me in you, empowers you to do that!
Get ready for a worldwide revival! …. Zech 4:6 ….. Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
Rejoice!

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
