Ask yourself- is there anyone in your life that you hate? Or even strongly dislike? Or perhaps someone that just annoys and bothers you to the point that you treat them differently...in a not-so-loving-way? In either case- God has a word for you... "If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." Wow. Those seem like some harsh words from God. So how am I supposed to rectify that? How are we supposed to love them if their disfunction, brokenness, or sin keeps getting in the way and that's all we see? Introducing the first of the 4 Basic Christian Doctrines that will help you in this struggle - "The Deity of Christ." Scripture Passages: 1 John 4:20,21; 1 Cor. 13:4; James 2:1-13; Luke 14:7-14; Mat. 23, 22:16; Isa. 53:1-3
