4 Reasons Why We Should Love Others

Our life on earth is the beginning of our life in heaven. The years of eternity will be "Exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think." (Ephesians 3:20). Therefore it behooves us to love and respect each other.

DO NOT OPPRESS OTHERS
 Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. Proverbs 14:31
God is also a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall. Isaiah 25:4

BE HUMBLE
Do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3,4. God's grace is sufficient for you, His power is made perfect in weakness.”  2 Corinthians 12:9

AVOID PARTIALITY
He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Deuteronomy 10:18

LOVE OTHERS
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ...1 John 4:7_21.

Note: What we now are, in character is the sure indication of what we shall be. God is able to give us the heart to love each other. He said we should do unto others as we would have them do to us. Therefore let us love each other, be kind to others, for it is the will of God concerning us.
