WE ARE COMMANDED by our God and great King above to…

1) Love our NEIGHBOR Romans 13:9

Love our ENEMIES Matthew 5:44

Love our BRETHREN John 13:34,35

Love our SPOUSES Colossians 3:19; Tit 2:4

Love the WORD of God 2 Thessalonians 2:10; 1 John 2:5

Love and OBEY GOD with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind Matthew 22:37,38

You will notice that "Love our enemies" is at the top of the list.
We all love those close to us...but if we cannot or just plain refuse to love those who hate us we cannot possible love the Lord Jesus Christ, and when we claim to be a Christian we are lying, and projecting a false image of the Christian faith.

We as Christians most often associate sin with wrong sexual activities, drinking, smoking, criminal activities, and all of such.

But I tell you this...and God's word backs it up.

A person can be absolutely morally perfect, not drinking, not smoking, not swearing, going to church every Sunday or Saturday, feeding the poor and caring for those in need, and every good thing he or she can think of. But if they are involved in the affairs of the world, loving it more than Christ Jesus they will never enter God's Kingdom.
