The message of the Bible is LOVE. Love your God and love your neighbour. But Jesus goes even further: Love your enemies.
In Mathew 5 : 44 Jesus says: However, I say to you, love your enemy, bless the one who curses you, do something wonderful for the one who hates you, and respond to the very ones who persecute you by praying for them.
And in the verse 45 He says: So that you may be SONS of your Father who is in heaven;
It is very interesting that Jesus says that if we do this things we are sons of God.
What is the difference between a child and a son? The difference is the age. A child is small, but a son is a grown up person, he understands things differently.
Thats why Jesus says that we should do this things so that we would be sons of God, because to do such things you need love. You cannot bless someone who curses you if you don't have love. You cannot love your enemies by your own strenght, you cannot pray for someone who persecutes you if you don't have love. And this kind of love is intentional love. Jesus doesn't says you have to feel that you love him and then pray for him, Jesus says only: pray for those who persecutes you. Even if you feel , or not feeling a thing you should pray, just because Jesus told you so.
He tells us to love because He loved us first and He won the battle through love.
In John 3:16 it says: For God so loved the world that He GAVE. Love does something and God did something for us, He gave His beloved Son to die for us so that we can be reconciled to Him. And if you want to reach to Our Father there is only one way, if you believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God and if you repent of your sins and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord, you will be saved.
