The Great Commandment (Mark 12:33) by contrast directs us to first love God with every aspect of our being and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Finding well-being or a flourishing existence in such a condition is much less difficult than in the secular proposal. Love is not an abstraction. Christians must be continually reminded to resist making love intangible or primarily theoretical. God's kind of love must remain vital, concrete, positive, and practical. Agape [love] is devoted to seeking the good of the person loved. It can and must occupy and energize our lives.
