Loving your neighbor is the 2nd commandment in the Bible. God gives us free will to obey or not. But, there is a motivation if you're looking for one!! There are rewards both here on earth and in heaven for our obedience to this and all other commandments. Plus, it just feels good to be kind to others. And, when you are kind to others..they will be kind to you. It's a fairly straight forward concept. Being kind only to get something you want would be manipulation and you would reap no rewards for such behavior.

So until we can do that, we need a father figure ordering us to do it?

Success -
Loving your neighbor comes naturally when you can love yourself. There is the rub.
