Luke 6:32-36

As followers of Christ we show His love BY loving others knowing that He is kind to all of His creation including the unthankful and evil. 

Jesus died for our sins to give us a peaceful. abundant. eternal. life.  God doesn’t want anyone to perish. no. not. one.

Fulfill His commands to love God above all and love ALL people just like you do your family and friends.

This is the “golden rule.” Such love as Jesus describes recognizes the preferences of others and is sensitive to them. Jesus also notes that the reward will be great for the losses suffered while practicing this type of love. This reward will be a hundredfold—that is, ten thousand percent. 

Luke 6:32-36

³² “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. ³⁴ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. ³⁵ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. ³⁶ Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 

Matthew 5:46

¹⁰ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 

Romans 13:10

¹⁶ But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 

Hebrews 13:16

 ³⁵ ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. ³⁶ Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you. ³⁷ You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. 

Leviticus 25:35–37

³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. 

Ephesians 4:32
