Fellow friends of God; Jesus taught us a new commandment, that we are to love one another as He has loved us.
Jhn 13: 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Because we are His friends, He has revealed and made known all things unto us.
Jhn 15:
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

The Father has sent His Spirit of truth to teach us all things and bring to our remembrance all the words that Jesus has spoken unto us.
Jhn 14:
26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

By our love for one another all men shall know we are the friends of God.
Jhn 13:
35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

He who hates his fellow Christian brother is not a friend of God nor has he been truly taught by the Spirit of God; but has paid heed to the father of all liars, Satan.
1Jo 2:
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

God is Love and He teaches us to love.
1Jo 2:
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Satan is hate and teaches all men to hate.
Gal 5:
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

All love comes from God, our Father.
Gal 5:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

All hate comes from Satan, the father of all liars.
Jhn 8:
44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Brethren, learn from God the greatest of lessons; how to love one another.
1Th 4:
9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
