Matthew 5:43-48

Love for God and for your neighbor is central to Jesus' vision of how to be human.

Jesus' interpretation of Leviticus 19:18...

love your neighbor = love your enemy

agape = a love of the will, bending your will to the good of another

How do we love our enemies?

1, PRAY for them

2, GREET them

perfect = the end goal, complete

Love is the great litmus test!

Romans 5:6-11

The invitation of Jesus is to spiritual greatness in the divine conspiracy of sacrificial love.
