Love Your Enemies - Matthew 5:44-45

Matthew 5:44-45 ESV 


But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


God so loved the world, but not as He loves His children. We are to love our enemies and our neighbors as God loves the world with the knowledge that we are no longer part of the world. 


We are to love our brothers and sisters as we love ourselves. This is the love that the Lord has for the body of Christ, for it is of Himself.
