8/4 – Lk. 6:27-36 - Love for Enemies

Who we are ought to love

8/4 – Lk. 6:27-36 - Love for Enemies

People use “love” for each other to provide moral justification for their sinful acts

Jesus showed the number 1 act of love by dying on the cross for our sins.

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” - 1 John 4:10

Hatred for our enemies seems like the most natural thing. “If people harm us we should harm them our harden our hearts towards them.” “They harmed me, so I have to get them back.” “An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.”

When somebody wrongs us what is our first response?
