Let's Express God's Love

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

God indeed loves us everyone, both the sinner and the righteous. We see His love towards humanity when we look at the things he does for us. Like the above scritpires says, "He makes His sun shine on the evil and the good, He sends His rain on both the just and injust. God doesn't discriminate when it comes to showing us love, we are all His creation and Loves us all.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you; That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tax collectors the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the tax collectors so? Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. Mathew 5:44-48

Love Your enemies

Just as He loves us, He also wants us to love our neighbours and even our enemies as well.
We all love people who love us but hate people who dislike us. it is easy to embrace our love ones, greet them and even good to them. This is not the case when it comes to people who hate us, and say all kinds of evil against us.

Enemies are those we all want them to die or end up miserably. Our fellow humans who eventually become our greatest enemies are not satan or devil, they have only allowed themselves to be used as the devil's advocates or cohort. They are the kind of enemies God wants us to still love in order to win them back to Him.

Bless Them That Curse You

We have not been called to curse people but to bless them. Judgement lies in the hands of God and we must leave everything to God.

We are already blessed beyond measure to even suffer from any evil an enemy speaks against us. We shouldn't be bitter and unleash evil against people, we will always end up destroying lives.

Our tongue is a great weapon that can bless an curse, whatever we say always come to pass for our words carries power. We should bless people with our words and not destroy them for any reason.

Do Good to Them That Hate You

Wild enemies who are seen to be so dangerous are tamed by humans who show them kindness and treat them with care. It will be hard for us to live a normal life with a lion like we live with the dog but we possibly do so if we treat them like our closest friends in their early stage.

The same thing applies to people who hate us in real life. They will not repent if we also signs that we also hate them. Love is the greatest key to make worse sinners turn fron their evil ways. We will make those who hate us repent if we don't retaliate but do good to them.

Pray For Them That Despitefully Use You

God does not delight in the death of a sinner. He doesn't want anyone of us to end up in he'll, not even those we see us our enemies. This is why we need to pray for such people. One may ask what kind of prayer?
A prayer for repentance. Someone turned up to be your enemy because that fellow allowed the viles or the vices of the devil to manipulate him against you.

I do not think you would want your brother or sister or a neighbour or friend end up in hell just because he is an enemy.

A persons life is more important to God than anything: The bible says our lives really cost God, it is so precious in His sight.

We were bought at a price therefore magnify God within your bodies.. 1 Corinthians 6:20

Did you hear that? we were bought at a price.
God is love, peace and wants His kind of peace to exist in our life and even expect us live peacefully with our enemies. We need to pray for their repentence and not just wish that they die.

Let's Love one another like God loves us
