“Loving our enemies also teaches us that the gospel is bigger and more important than any other issue. It trumps all divisions, prejudices, and hatred. The gospel is more important than any personal or political issues you may have with others.”

“Why is it necessary for us, if we are going to share the gospel with others, to love our enemies? Because the gospel’s central message is about God loving his enemies—which once included us. Paul writes, “while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son” (Romans 5:10). How can we profess that we have been transformed by a God who loved us even when we were his enemies, if we don’t love our enemies? The only way the world will believe in such a God is if they see those of us who call him Lord loving our enemies.”
