Love
Why is it so hard to love people who are unlovable and to love our enemies? It shouldn’t be so hard to extend grace given how much the God, who is Love, has extended grace to us.
1 Peter 1:22
Mathew 5:46-47

Romans 8:7 GNT “And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God’s law, and in fact they cannot obey it.”
