Loving God and His purpose as revealed in His word will enable us show God’s love to others especially those who believe differently that we do.

If this type of love is missing, people outside the church will not get an accurate picture of Christ’s love and may see no reason to surrender their lives to Christ and become part of the church. Christians must befriend each other through difficulties, be careful of each other feelings and reputations and put aside their own interests in order to promote each other’s welfare (Gal 6: 2; 1Thes 4: 9; 2Thes 1: 3; 1Peter 1: 22; 2Peter 1: 7; 1John 3: 23)\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":91,"text":92,"type":74,"level":86},"61dc8746-b5ad-4c7f-9a89-490db283f865","SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION",{"id":94,"text":95,"type":79},"e1e51fcb-8c59-410a-9879-4d5038a38f4b","\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">We as followers of Christ are expected to love all people, including our enemies (Matt 5: 44).
