My awesome, Grandchildren, and Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin; whom I love and pray for every day: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU…” (Matt. 5:43-45) This is a difficult task, why does God require this of us? Well, before we were saved, “…WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES, we were 1reconciled to Him through the death of His Son…” (Rom. 5:10) 1katallassō: return to favour with God. So, how did God make that happen? “…God SO LOVED THE WORLD (that’s you and me) that HE GAVE HIS ONLY 2BEGOTTEN SON, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17) 2monogenēs: the only one of its kind.
“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that HE LOVED US and sent HIS SON AS A SACRIFICE TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS. Dear friends, since God loved us that much…
WE SURELY OUGHT TO (must) LOVE EACH OTHER…(1 John 4:10-11)
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “…LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU…” !!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin…
