How Do You Practically Live Out Matt. 5:44? (Love Your Enemies)

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

Jesus said those words as part of his Sermon on the Mount. They are probably familiar to most of us, but what do they look like practically for you?

This is not the kind of Bible verse that’s simply for spiritual pondering. It gets nitty-gritty real fast! What ways can we live out Jesus’ command here to love our enemies beside the obvious thing that’s laid out for us to pray for them?

Jesus told us how and who are neighbours are. Everyone is our neighbour and we are to be practicle in how we show love.

So how do you help your local food bank?

How do you give to support Christian missionaries?

How do you give to help the suffering of Christians being perscuted and

How regularly do you pray, inteligently for these same Christians.

Thank you for these practical suggestions!

And thank you for sharing those resources. It is sobering to look at the Open Doors World Watch List. Definitely an encouragement to be fervent in prayer!
