“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
It is important to note that when God gave His Son to die for the world, it wasn’t for the Christian or select few alone but for the whole world, sinners, dejected and rejected included. Anyone can receive this salvation irrespective of who they are or what they did. This act by God showed us how to love everyone not just those we choose to love. There some Christians who say they hate a particular person maybe because of what the person has done or who the person represents, they just can’t find themselves to love this person or persons.
This is not the example God wants us to emulate when He gave His only precious Son to die for all. In fact the Word says that love is a debt that we owe each other, so it is mandatory for us to love and show love to others irrespective of how we feel about them; doing otherwise is disobeying God and rejecting the ultimate sacrifice of the death of His dear Son. Imitate His love and express this kind of love to others genuinely.
Further Scripture study: Romans 13:8
Declare This: Dear Father, I thank you for showing me how to love. You demonstrated this through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I declare that I make loving and showing others love as a priority. I am a love being and I am born by a love God. I do not have the nature of hate in me in Jesus name Amen.
