Why We Should Love Our Enemies
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” (Luke 6:27)

There are two main reasons why Christians should love their enemies and do good to them.

One is that it reveals something of the way God is. God is merciful.

“He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45).
“He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10).
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
So, when Christians live this way, we show something of what God is like.

The second reason is that the hearts of Christians are satisfied with God and are not driven by the craving for revenge or self-exaltation or money or earthly security.

God has become our all-satisfying treasure and so we don’t treat our adversaries out of our own sense of need and insecurity, but out of our own fullness with the satisfying glory of God.

Hebrews 10:34: “You joyfully accepted the plundering of your property [that is, without retaliation], since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” What takes away the compulsion of revenge is our deep confidence that this world is not our home, and that God is our utterly sure and all-satisfying reward.

So, in both these reasons for loving our enemy we see the main thing: God is shown to be who he really is as a merciful God and as gloriously all-satisfying.

The ultimate reason for being merciful is to glorify God

above reproach, the husband of one wife
– children are believers, not debaucherous
– not arrogant or quick-tempered
– not a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain
– hospitable, lover of good
– self-controlled
– upright, holy, and disciplined

This is from Paul’s letter to Titus instructing him how to identify good leaders. These are not a list of things to try to become. These are description of the fact that who you are drives what you do. It all starts with striving to be the same man all the time. Not a different dude in one place, a different one at home and another at church. Don’t live by default, strive to be closer to the One in who’s image you are made and you will start to look like Him.

This week has been eye opening for me with employee’s family members passing or having sudden major health issues. I’ve listened to me struggle with their emotions as they process through what is happening. I often take for granted my family. I pondered that yesterday as I went home from work.

Remember, life is short and death is looming for us all. Cherish those around you for you don’t know when your time is up.
