“What is more, if we are to understand our Master’s words, we must realize what He meant by using the word “love.” All too often in our modern era, “love” is understood as an emotion, and surely emotion played a part in Yeshua’s understanding of the concept of “love.” However, in the Scriptures, the concept of “love” is far more weighted on the side of “faithful actions” or “loyalty to one’s word and promises.” For instance, in the Shema (Deut 6:4f; 11:13f), the command to “love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” is immediately defined in terms of how one is to love: “These words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart…,” meaning that the commandments of God are to govern one’s actions and deeds. Keeping the commandments is therefore the manner in which one loves God. This is explicitly stated by Yeshua and His Apostles: If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. (John 14:15)” – Tim Hegg
