The second commandment is connected to the first one. They are a pair and cannot be separated. Our relationship to others is synonymous with our relationship to God. If we are not in right relationship with others, then we are not in right relationship with our God. We are to love others just as much as we would love ourselves; considering others better and deserving of more value. We are to yield to others in the way we would wish to be treated, respected and loved. If we truly love others, then we will show it by serving them. To be Christ-like is to be a servant. Jesus came to serve others, not to be served himself. We too are to be just like Christ in that we are to serve others. We live in a "tell me, don't show me" culture; a world full of broken promises and cons. Take it a step further and demonstrate your love for others, as Christ did, by serving them. This is truly fulfilling your purpose as a Christ follower and for the church.
