The Call for Humility and Faith in Loving Enemies

Obedience to God's call to love and pray for enemies demands genuine humility and deep faith. By loving enemies, one mirrors the love of God who sacrificed his son to save his enemies. This act of love for enemies is an emulation of the father in heaven according to Matthew 5, 44 and 45, which instructs believers to love and pray for those who persecute them to become children of God.
