Love our enemies?

Question

I know God wants us to love our enemies and everyone around us, but how do you love satanists or people who explicitly announce their hatred toward God?

Answer

You see that they are creations of God. And that casting judgment is for Him alone. He is the changer of hearts and could guide that very person who is against Him, to Him. And He could even make it so, that the person who is against him is guided to the truth as a result of your love and your kindness. Show the world what religion really is.

Answer

Because God specifically created them. We’re all made in His image, and we were given free will. That includes following the lies and made up ideas that other humans have created if we choose to do so🤷🏻‍♀️ *Other religions, angry people, etc.* But to follow Jesus, is to practice being like Him. So we are encouraged to love all of our neighbors, because ALL of us are His children. Hope this helps. ❤️

Answer

For me, something that sounds harsh but has always helped is when someone said, “If love is ever conditional, it’s not love, but manipulation.” We love all no matter what. As to how, I go off of 1 Corinthians 13 whenever I need a concrete direction.

Answer

You can start praying for them everyday and let the Holy Spirit do their job in their lives. Also, just let them see God’s love through you. Never know if someday they might be like- Hey, that person has something special in their life. I want that!

Answer

“You are told to love your neighbour as yourself. How do you love yourself? When I look into my own mind, I find that I do not love myself by thinking myself a dear old chap or having affectionate feelings. I do not think that I love myself because I am particularly good, but just because I am myself and quite apart from my character. I might detest something which I have done. Nevertheless, I do not cease to love myself. In other words, that definite distinction that Christians make between hating sin and loving the sinner is one that you have been making in your own case since you were born. You dislike what you have done, but you don't cease to love yourself. You may even think that you ought to be hanged. You may even think that you ought to go to the Police and own up and be hanged. Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.” 
- C S Lewis
