Matthew 22
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
People may ask does God really love us? God shows His love for us through the greatest commandments. God of course deserves our love for being an awesome and amazing God. He demonstrates to us His love in expecting others to love us like and while they love themselves. If we flip that and love others like and while we love ourselves then we are in essence covering every aspect of our existence on earth. When we fulfill the Law and Prophets through love then Lord is pleased because we also demonstrate we love Him. It is balanced and perfect. It is also easier said than done. The scale of justice is balanced out through love demonstrated to everyone and to loving the Lord our God.
