What does the conceptual framework of Christianity have to offer us?
Part I of II
Life is to be lived in the light of an absolute perfection which requires of persons a similar, but proportional, perfection.
They are to live with utter integrity – called purity of heart; they are to live with a wholeheartedness which excludes pride of any kind; they are to be sensitive to others – sensing the oneness of oneself and others, and ministering to human needs.
They are to love one another.
Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion, William L. Reese, p. 119

Love existed before Christianity, but now Christianity teaches humankind to extend that love beyond family, lovers, and friends.
One is to love all people regardless of who they are.
Christianity teaches humankind to look beyond the differences that exist between each other and look towards the soul.
