Next Steps in Following Jesus: Love People

Since God reached out and saved us by sending Christ, we who have received God’s love and mercy now reach out in love to our neighbors. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35). This requires radical living!

God loved us while we were yet sinners, while we were His enemies. Open your heart to God’s love. Then with Christ’s love in your heart reach out to that lonely neighbor, that difficult person at work, that family member who does not like you, that person from a different culture, that awkward person who has no friends. Be their neighbor: the love of Jesus reaching out to others.
