The Ways of God Toward Evil Men. Luke 6:35-36
“35) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 36) Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:35-36
True love puts people above things. It recognizes that things are temporal but people are eternal. Love sees intrinsic value in all people. It also recognizes that the gospel can change people.
Many times things destroy relationships and builds walks between people. The greatest solution is turning your things over to God and viewing them as tools to reach people.
Our highest mission as believers is to reach people and not accumulate things. When this is put in perspective, fruitfulness begins to abound.
This approach is connected to the ways of God in this context. He shows His grace and mercy to ungrateful and evil men. At some point it either softens them or hardens them. They will give an account on the day of judgement.
