God's laws and commandments can be summed up in one word: love. When asked to chose the greatest of commandments, Jesus gives us two: Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind AND Love your neighbor as yourself. This gives us three tasks: Love God (who is Love and is everywhere), love our neighbors, and (quite importantly) love ourselves.
In a world that seeks to divide us, Jesus tells us that we are to love and allow ourselves to be loved. Our world has polluted the word "love" by trying to dirty it, by attaching it mundane objects (e.g. I love my shampoo), and by the media trying to tell us that it should only be used for "the one" and no one else. Yet love is greater than any of the boxes that humans try to put around it. It is infinite in all dimensions.
"It surrounds us. It penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." The Force that Obi Wan speaks of is love.
