The Holy Spirit let me know over 40 years ago that the very heart of our existence is LOVE. Of what Godly use is it to love only those who love you..... don’t even the unbelievers do that? But to love those who believe and behave differently than you do isn’t that the way that God loves us? We need to reevaluate the command to love God above anyone or anything and then to love others as much as we do ourselves. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to live, die and be raised again to save them.....shouldn’t we be doing the same? If we say we love God and hate others we are hypocrites! Faith, hope and love are the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the greatest of these is love :)
The corruption in view here is hypocrisy. Practicing hypocrisy is senseless because eventually all deeds—both good and evil—will be exposed.
Luke 12:1-3
In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
