Matthew 5:43-45

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, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
                                                                               Bible verse from - Matthew 5:43-45



it is herbal to love your own family and pals, but to like folks that hate you and persecute you?  Wow.  God loved us before we even existed (Eph 1) and died for us even as we had been nevertheless sinners and His enemies.  via the manner, anytime Jesus says “you have got heard it said” he's referring to the vintage testament laws and so while Jesus follows that by using announcing “however I say to you,” he is referring to the new and better testomony.  that is a hard one indeed and it can’t be completed in human energy however only by way of the energy of the Holy Spirit.  on this reference in Matthew, Jesus says that God is gracious even to folks who are sinners, sending sunshine and rain to them…which might be vital to life.  The analogy might be that God even gives the sinner’s precise matters in life due to the fact he is a benevolent God.  this is why excellent matters every now and then take place to terrible people.
