The Relationship of Believers to the World

18 w“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 xIf you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

III. HOW TO LOVE YOUR ENEMY?

   A. BY BLESSING THEM...
      1. As commanded by Jesus, Paul, and Peter - Mt 5:44; Ro 12:14; 1Pe
         3:9
      2. The word "bless" here means to "speak well of" or "speak well
         to" - Barnes

   B. BY DOING GOOD TO THEM...
      1. As taught in both Covenants - Exo 23:4-5; Mt 5:44; Lk 6:27; Ga
         6:10
      2. Which has the potential of transforming our enemies - Pro
         25:21-22; e.g., 2Ki 6:22-23

   C. BY PRAYING FOR THEM...
      1. As Jesus taught - Mt 5:44; Lk 6:28
      2. As Jesus and His disciples exemplified - Lk 23:34; Ac 7:60; Ro
         10:1

   D. WITH ACTIVE GOOD WILL...
      1. Which is the meaning of the word "love" (Gr., agape)
      2. Beautifully defined by Paul - 1Co 13:4-8 (imagine treating
         enemies like this!)

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived,
   serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
   hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the
   love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of
   righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He
   saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of
   the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through
   Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His
   grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal
   life. - Tit 3:3-7
