Friday April 18, 2014 Dont just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. —Romans 12:9 If we claim to be followers of Christ and harbor bitterness or hatred in our hearts toward someone, there is something very wrong. John was very distinct when he wrote, If someone says, I love God, but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we dont love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? (1 John 4:20, NLT). John was saying that if we have hatred in our hearts toward fellow members of the body of Christ, fellow Christians, there is something wrong in our spiritual lives. There is no room for hatred, bitterness, or prejudice in the heart of a child of God. God wants our love to be honest and without hypocrisy.
