"When our Savior ministered among men, He was asked by the lawyer, 'Master, which is the great commandment in the law?' Jesus responded: 'Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like unto
it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment
greater than these.' We cannot truly love God if we do not love our fellow
travelers on this mortal journey. Likewise, we cannot fully love our fellowmen
if we do not love God, the Father of us all. The Apostle John tells us, “This
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” We
are all spirit children of our Heavenly Father and, as such, are brothers and
sisters. As we keep this truth in mind, loving all of God’s children will
become easier." - President Thomas S. Monson
