What Did Christ Teach About Love

Can we love others more deeply?  Can we learn to love those whom we do not readily value?  Can we strive to love others who are not even kind to us?  Can we love ourselves?  These ideas may sound nearly impossible, but they are ideas that we can strive for.  Loving others and ourselves is what God intended when He created mankind.  God would not have sent Christ to teach us about the power of love if He did not believe mankind needed to learn how to love.  What did Christ say?

Christ taught us to even love our enemies. Mat 5:44…Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

1 Jo. 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 Jo. 4:20 If a man say, I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray to be filled with your spirit of love that I may love others and myself as abundantly as you love. Amen
