Man's two obligations to love


And HaShem shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall HaShem be one, and his name one.
Zech 14:9

And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
John 17:22
Man in his physical state has a dual duty to love; love God and love his neighbor. The Christian hangs on to life so he can fulfill both. At death the believer will continue to love God but his neighborly love is cut off until the Resurrection. Then our physical bodies will "rise" and our dual love will be unified and He will be one and His name one.
