More explanation about New Covenant Literal Application
The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.
It combines person categories such as Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, and Gentile, together with male/female distinctions and an application level such as mandated, recommended, optional, or prohibited.
This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. On this page, the technical code is summarized into plain language to help new readers understand it more easily.
Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary
Rabbi Michael Rudolph
This Mitzvah commands us to receive Messiah’s love and kindness, but it is not his feelings of love and kindness that we are to receive; it is his sacrificial actions of love and kindness – his willingness to endure persecution and even death at the hands of the Romans on our behalf. Scripture tells us about what Yeshua did, but how are we to receive it? The answer is suggested in 1 John 4:19 that tells us: “We ourselves love now because he loved us first.” We therefore receive what Yeshua did for us in love by similarly loving God and our fellow man. We love God and Yeshua through our faith and obedience ( Matthew 22:37-39 and John 14:15) , and our fellow man through our sacrificial actions (dying to self: Luke 9:23 and Ephesians 4:22-2 4) taken in his behalf ( John 2:14-26 and James 2:26) .
