Evidence

Ahh, and evidence for my last post can be found in Matthew 5:43-48

"'43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor[g] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,[h] 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren[i] only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors[j] do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.'"

Take him very seriously, and repent if you do not love like this.

also in Romans 5:7-8

"7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

There are many others; if you would like more, first study His Word, and if you still would like more, you can ask me through the comment thing here.

Emily is making biscuits right now so that I can put jelly on them and enjoy a tasty treat. I love her simply because God loves her, and he is my Source. But she is also making it really easy for me to like her at the moment. Thank you God for giving us the creativity to come up with biscuits and jelly and for giving us taste buds. Amen.
