Love Our Enemies & Be Perfect

Matthew 5:43-48 — Love our enemies and be perfect as our Father is perfect. We are children of God. Therefore, we must love like God loves, with extraordinary love. We love our enemies with our actions, words, and prayers. In this world we live as God’s peculiar, radically different-from-the-world Kingdom people. This is possible because … We are perfect because we are in Christ. We are becoming perfect because the Holy Spirit makes us perfect.

This is radical! We are called to live the alternative, counter-cultural way of love. True love overcomes evil.
