Luke 6:27-28 MEV "But I (Jesus) say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

If we are not walking in Love:

We will see the person as the enemy
We will hate the person
We will attempt to get others to hate this person also.
It can be also said this way:

When I see only the person, I miss the true enemy.
When I hate the person, I walk in destruction.
When I walk in destruction, I persuade others to walk with me.

and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 3:15 MEV Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no

murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
1 John 4:20 MEV If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For

whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
