Loving those who love us is a natural instinct and does not require much effort or sacrifice. Jesus, in his teachings, invites us to transcend this basic level of love and embrace a more profound, selfless love that mirrors God's love for us. This love is not contingent on receiving love in return; it is unconditional and inclusive. By loving those who may not love us back, or even those who might oppose us, we demonstrate a love that is transformative and redemptive. This radical love challenges societal norms and calls us to live out our faith in tangible ways. It is a call to action, encouraging us to break down barriers of hostility and indifference, and to build bridges of understanding and compassion. This teaching is a reminder that true love is not just about feelings or emotions, but about deliberate actions and choices that reflect the heart of God. By striving to love in this way, we participate in the divine nature and become agents of change in the world.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them."
Luke 6:32
