The path between knowing and obeying is by thinking like Christ.

Jesus followers will conform themselves to Jesus’ teaching, humbly confessing their own sins first and carefully testing their own hearts always.

Pride leads to a critical spirit, but God’s grace leads to humility and teaches us to put on compassion.

It is love that will empower you to respond to your enemies with love, but you will need to think of yourself first. 

Those who listen to Jesus will orient their hearts to love their enemies and will act toward them out of that love.
