Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?

I believe Jesus called it a new commandment since He already made a commandment to the people to love God. Now, He wants us to love one another the way He loves us. He set Himself as an example of the way how we should love one another.

How do Jesus` words make you feel? You may want to save your answer as Private

Jesus` words gives me hope. It makes me happy. It is what keeps me going through each day. Sometimes I get tired of all the evil in me and all around me but when I read the Gospels my strength is renewed. I thought I was a born loser but Jesus changed all that negative thinking. He showed me that I am loved by my Maker and that makes me a winner. ''Imagine I can call the Creator of the universe my father! And His love for me is immeasurable'' I want to tell others of His love...

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.

When I was in fifth grade, a pastor visited our class. He talked about God and His son Jesus Christ who can save us from eternal damnation. Prior to the visit, I already knew that Jesus died on the cross and died for our sins. But I only had a vague idea why He needed to do that. Moreover, the God I knew from childhood was a strict judge who hurls souls of very bad people''murderers, terrorists, adulterers'' to the lake of fire; who forgives not so bad people''ocassional liars, petty thieves'' after saying repeated prayers and bloody penitence; and who rewards the title Saint to good people who followed the Ten Commandments without fail. When I first heard that faith in Jesus after all is the only way to God, my emotions ranged from doubt, to surprise, to amazement, then to happiness and hope. My little mind cannot contain that God can forgive both murderers and mischievous girls. But despite my little faith, I prayed the sinner`s prayer and accepted Jesus as my Saviour. Now as I look back on that beautiful morning, I realized that I started to love God more and more. There are times when my weaknesses, sins, and other people condemn me but at the end of the day, when I am alone in my room with God, I approach the throne of grace with Jesus and ask for God`s mercy. With all the wickedness in the world I sometimes wonder how a Holy God can repeatedly forgive sinners including me...God is indeed Love! That`s why I my love for Him increases... When I was still a sinner, I try to stop sinning for fear of damnation and to earn a place in heaven, when I was saved I follow my Father`s commandments because it is what pleases Him. I`m doing it not out of obligation but out of love for Him...
