The Greek word translated into English as "love" is "agape". Agape love is not a feeling it is a choice. You choose to treat other people in a charitable way despite what you may personally feel about them. It isn't like you have some affection for the person built up in your heart. It's more like you recognize that they like you were created in God's image and since God is kind to them you are going to be like God and be kind to them also just like you would want them to be kind to you.

Ding ding ding ding! Give the man a cigar!
You figured out half of the equation. Now, work on the other half.
You do not have that love for others that you should. So.... how do you go about acquiring that love?

That's sort of the point isn't it? Jesus tells us that to love God, whom we haven't seen, we must love our neighbor. If your neighbor were beaten and robbed, you would help him wouldn't you? The lawyer asked Jesus "who is my neighbor?" Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan (Samaritans were the enemies of the Jews). Think about it...

Love your nieghbor is like love your brother, is like love your fellow man.
It doesnt mean you want to marry this person.
It means you need to have love in your heart for your fellow man.
You don't love Christ because you don't know him.
Thats where to start.

Do you love any actors, singers, painters, etc? I bet you've never met them.
