#3 Inspirational Bible Verses about Love – Love Your Enemies:
It’s usually very easy to love our friends, and to love those who love us. But what about loving our enemies? What about those who hate and persecute us? Those who are unkind to us? We are to love them & pray for them, expecting nothing in return.
“…If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that’s charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that. “I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never – I promise – regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind.” – Luke 6:32-36, MSG
“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish – to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty.” – Matthew 5:43-47, MSG
