Haters Become Lovers

So I command you to love each other.  If the people of this world hate you, just remember that they hated me first.  If you belonged to the world, its people would love you. But you don't belong to the world. I have chosen you to leave the world behind, and that is why its people hate you.

John 15:17-19

This is a very simple and profound truth!  If you belong to the world, the people of the world will love you.  If you belong to Jesus, the people of this world will hate you.

God is not like the people of this world.  God loves  you even if you don't belong to Him and you reject Jesus Christ!  In fact, Jesus died for the people who rejected Him and loved the world instead of God.  So the very people who hated Jesus are the ones He died to save!  And when you belong to Him, those who hate Him will hate you.  

But when they turn and come to Jesus, suddenly you become a precious loved one of those who were on their way to Hell with no possibility of pardon.  

If you want the world to love you, the only way is for them to hear the Story of Jesus and accept Him for who He is and what He did!  Then Haters will become Lovers!  

Remember, when the lost are reconciled to God, they also become a dear loved one of those they once hated!

If you want to be truly loved, spreading the message of Jesus Christ is the only way to make it happen!

"Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for Your enemies.  And Lord, I know that Your enemies once included me!  Praise Your Holy and Righteous Name, now and forever.  Amen."
