His challenge to love our enemies and pray for our persecutors
His message totally defies world standards
Consider the alternative: responding like the world
We become enslaved by how other treat us
Regardless how much we love the brotherhood of believers, if we hold any bitterness or resentment - we are simply reduced to the level of the world
No matter how unjust or painful the treatment, God's grace is sufficient -
2 Corinthians 12:7-9
He expects us to have
Because he call to a life of righteousness which will produce enemies
Are we willing to go all the way and suffer for him -
Philippians 1:29
He expects us to love and actively pray for the people who oppose us
How much do we persevere with people?
Do we answer back kindly when spoken to unjustly?
