This is a true gospel-ing, God said in His word that to love him directly is not possible, a good christian can love Him by loving the neighbour just as self is loved.
And this is the part majority of Christians today are missing, God said 'your neighbour', not your cased with relative term friendly neighbour. The neighbour could be a friend or an enemy: He commanded to love them just as self is loved. This another primary thing Born Agains should consider.
Well done here @elotech. Hope to see you around again soon.
