    Grace is stricter than the law. Since the grace of God is given to us, we in turn should bestow that same means and measure of grace upon others. They do not deserve it, but neither did we.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,483 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    Love your enemies! Wow that is not such an easy command to obey. It is much easier to take revenge. But that is not what we are asked to do as believers. What is this loving my enemies all about?
