Why We Must Love Our Enemies
Good morning my Ekklesia Family
Most of our enemies became our enemies because of something petty. Maybe some one cussed at you, didn't give you money back, cheated on you therefore you declared these people your enemy. We have excluded, turned away, ignored, gone to court and brought charges against.... The same crime, if we were the initiators, would probably want some to forgive us for. Our Greatest Example, Christ Jesus, tells us to love our enemies and why. Because He Loved Us!
“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. Luke 6:27-36 NLT
