How Love Wins

So anyone can see there are Muslim terrorists out there who hate us. They hate us because they do not get a lot of information from outside sources and think we hate them. If we’re doing it right, as brothers and sisters of humanity, we should all be loving each other. Most everyone knows you should love your family and your friends. Many people know you should love people you haven’t even met yet. But Jesus even teaches that we should love our enemy. The terrorists hate us, but we should love them back in the face of them hating us. Maybe some terrorists will even see that they’re in the wrong and should be loving everyone instead of hating some.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’

44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Matthew 5:43-44 (GNT).

Some people get upset when you say that you should love everyone. They think that love means being a pacifist hippy and that you cannot defend yourself in an attack. John the Baptist did not condemn soldiers because he knew from God that sometimes you need to defend yourself. If you’re walking down the street and some madman attacks your friend, you gotta defend them. It is an act of love to protect your friend. In the same way, some nations conduct wars, not out of conquest, but to defend themselves. This is why the US military is known as national defense. 

Some soldiers also asked him(John The Baptist), “What about us? What are we to do?” He said to them, “Don’t take money from anyone by force or accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your pay.” Luke 3:14 (GNT).

Love is something that rages like a fire. The more you love others, the better they feel about themselves. Marriages are based in love and marriages are super awesome and fun. You get to learn and raise your kids. Every soul is different and you unlock the beauty of a soul by loving them. Each soul interacts differently with each other soul and the beauty that blossoms with each relationship is different. Making new friends is awesome to see new love blossom. Cultivating old friendships is great to bask the beauty of that blossom or even see it develop further. Love results in more love. Love is awesome, and a far more fun feeling to have than hate. 

Hate also spreads like a fire. If someone hurts you, the natural response is to want to hurt them back. Then if you hurt them back, they want to hurt you back. The hurt and pain just continues to spread across people and relationships unless you keep it in check. When someone hurts or insults you, do not hurt or insult them back. Try and give them love back instead. This is all you can do in the face of adversity, and it does not feel good. In an extreme manner; Jesus himself bore the cross and hate while loving us back. We want everyone loving and enjoying life, so do not spread hate in any form even sports rivalries, for real hate can hide even in play hate.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that .- Martin Luther King, Jr

The terrorists want to conquer the world in hate, control, and fear. This isn’t much different than the recent attempt to conquer the world and hate the Jewish people of the Nazi Germany party in World War II. The devil wanting to use nations to conquer and control the world is one of his older plans. Rome was poised to do this back when Jesus was born, but the preaching of Jesus defused the unity of rule by power. Now the good of us try and ascribe rule to those who are humble and love others. Even going back further, the Tower of Babel was intended to unite everyone in one hive mind thought. It is better when everyone thinks for themselves though. For if you really think for yourself, you understand love is best and reject controlling hate tyrants.

1 At first, the people of the whole world had only one language and used the same words. 2 As they wandered about in the East, they came to a plain in Babylonia and settled there. 3 They said to one another, “Come on! Let’s make bricks and bake them hard.” So they had bricks to build with and tar to hold them together. 4 They said, “Now let’s build a city with a tower that reaches the sky, so that we can make a name for ourselves and not be scattered all over the earth.”5 Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which they had built, 6 and he said, “Now then, these are all one people and they speak one language; this is just the beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want! 7 Let us go down and mix up their language so that they will not understand each other.” 8 So the Lord scattered them all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 The city was called Babylon, because there the Lord mixed up the language of all the people, and from there he scattered them all over the earth. Genesis 11:1-8 (GNT).

Again, love everyone. We’re all brothers and sisters of humanity. We’re all made by the same Creator God even if some do not know his instructions to not murder each other. God is the God of love. God is the God who wants us to love one another. If the devil wasn’t using Muslim Terrorists to try and conquer the world, he’d use someone else. So love everyone. Do not echo hate for that is how hate wins. Iran and their sponsoring terrorism to conquer the world seems like not much of a threat compared to Nazi Germany, but it is a bigger threat. If we do not embrace love for everyone, but hate each other, fighting like animals, we can destroy ourselves and hate could ultimately win this battle. Jesus won the war on the cross, so eternity is ruled by the God of Love, but we should try and win our battles through being good and loving always. Even when you’re hated, love back. If you used to be a hater, repent of it and seek the superior way of love.
