BLESSED greetings Cherished one. One observation in the holy scriptures is that there is no room of escape for the born again not to love at all. When it comes to God, you are admonished to love God with all your might, soul, heart, strength. You are also told to love your neighbour as yourself; and love your enemies too. This means love is the only virtue that can be shown to almost everyone on this earth.

No wonder the Bible says God so loved the world of sinners. Our focal text opines the same revelation about interpersonal relationship. Jesus came to meet a certain kind of teachings that says “…You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ (Matthew 5:43). However, Jesus introduced a higher law of loving your enemies. This is humanly challenging but divinely possible.
If God has shown you love and has shed His love abroad in your heart you won’t struggle to love your enemies ( Romans 5:5). Enemies in this context refer to those folks hostile to you; or those who hate and oppose you. The Jews had Roman governments as their enemies and also personal or individual enemies. Jesus says love them all. Jesus explained how to love them; by blessing them, doing good to them and praying for them. Beloved, love is the best way to change a person, not hatred. Love all even your enemies. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
