One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him. “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him,“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." (Matt. 22:35-40)
Jesus did not change the definition of love between the Old and New Testaments (see Matt. 5:17-19). Therefore, God's law in both Testaments teaches us the definition of "love."
Love -- the scriptural category -- is not merely an emotion. It is an evaluation of an action. In scripture, for example, "rebuking your neighbor" is a "loving" thing to do. Physically chastising your child when they sin is a loving act.
