Matthew 5:44, Jesus says, 'Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and slander you: That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who makes the sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and rain upon the just and the unjust.'
For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the tax collectors do this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? Do not also the heathens do this?
By doing good to those that you may consider your enemies shows your true love to all mankind just as God does. God does love us all. Each of us has the opportunity to repent and turn our backs on iniquity and hate. By praying for your enemies, you just may be able to turn them into friends. This is one thing that makes a true Christian, a person that can love their enemy no matter what they may do.
Greet your enemy with love, don't try to avoid them. How can you help them if you don't show your love for them? God's love is unconditional and so should ours be. Drop the created love and be clothed with the uncreated love of God.
God Is Love
