A lot has been happening over the last few years; multiple terrorist attacks have occurred, cops are abusing their powers, there have been riots, and more. You name it and it has probably happened. In a time where love is needed the most, it upsets me to see that many of my fellow Christians are doing just the opposite. They are hating on those who are sinning, those who follow different beliefs, and those who share the same beliefs.
Christianity is based on love. One of the most well-known verses, John 3:16 states that "for God so LOVED the world he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall never die but have eternal life." Another verse, and one of my favorites is 1 Corinthians 13:13, "But these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the GREATEST of these is LOVE."
I was always told growing up that BIBLE meant Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. If this is the case, then God is telling us to love. Then why are we not doing this? If we learned to love again, then I can guarantee that we could bring so many more people to Christ!
Here is my advice:
1. Don't be close minded.
2. Be friendly.
3. Be accepting.
4. Make a good impression.
5. LOVE
