We are to love our enemies too!

Quote
1 John 4:7

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.


Jesus said: "If you have ever hated your brother, you are guilty of murder."

If we say we love God, but hate our brother, we're liars! No murderer has eternal life.

You see all this hate in the world, killing, etc... well, Jesus commanded us to LOVE our enemies!

Just wanted to put this up as a reminder, and I'm thankful to have heard it too, its a great reminder for everyone.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Cor 13:4-8a (niv)

Code
Ezekiel 25:17


The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the
tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through
the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike
down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you

According to Jesus, it does.

He took the "Thou shalt not murder" commandment a step further, by saying: "If you hate your brother, you are guilty of murder"

Jesus also said, "If you lust after another woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart."

God knows the heart, and when he comes back and sends them out to collect the humans, you can't just "pretend" to be a Christian. He knows where your heart is at, and knows your thoughts.
