Love your neighbour

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people,
but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
Lev 19:18

God is Holy and God is love. we are His wonderful creation made in His image.
Sin seperated us from the Holy and loving God. But because of His unconditonal love,
God has prepared a way of salvation and restoration by shedding His precious blood on
the cross of Calvary.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God's wrath.
For it is written: "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
Don't pay people back with evil for the evil they do to you.
Joseph in the old testament, did not take vengence on his brothers when they came
to him for grain. David did not take vengance on King Saul.
Its God's command for us as His children to love our neighbours as ourselves and to love our enemies.
The whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
James says in his epistle, 'If you really keep the royal law stated in Scripture,
"Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.'

Let the love of God that has been poured in our hearts through His Holy Spirit, overflow and reach out the lost and bring them back to God. Amen!
