It is Easy To Love Those Who Love You - Luke 6:27-37

Biblical Inspirational Quotes

Luke 6:27-37 - Kindness Fruit of the Spirit


27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

It is not easy to love everyone like people who hurt you, sabatage you, use you, abuse you physically, emotionally and spiritually, or curse you or say bad things about you.

Do you know bad people?

A bad boss, friend who emotionally abuses you, use you for their gain, family members who abuse you, mean people who want to put you down because of their insecurity, or how about witches who want to curse you spiritually?

When someone hurts you, don't get mad or angry, pray and bless them according to Luke 6:27-37. You could win them over to the Lord through love. Jesus is all about love.

Luke 6:35 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."

When we can show love instead of getting even, then great is our reward.

1 Thes. 5:15-18 "See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

We are told not to render evil for evil to any man. That means false accusations. When someone accuses you, it is human nature to come back with an accusation or to defend ourselves.

Learn to control your tongue and not become one with their sin. Separate the person sinning against you and pray for them.

Let me tell you my story


I worked at a job where there was a practicing witch, and she did every evil thing to me. She would sabotage my job, hide my work, make false accusations, and curse at me. My car got hit in the garage 6 times in five months, and I knew it came from her.

The Lord told me to pray for her, and at first, I hesitated. I was reminded Luke 6:27-37. I did it out of obedience and prayed for the person.

Through time, my heart changed, and my bitterness was gone. I had a new love for her. Through praying for her, God was protecting me. You see, when we love, it becomes a shield.

She still prayed curses on me, but they went back on her. When I was bitter, the door was open for the enemy to have its way with me. The Lord could protect me when I changed my heart and dealt with the bitterness.

I could feel six large angels protecting me. In fact, a prophet told me he saw six large angels around my workstation.

The greatest gift we can own is loving our enemy because love covers a multitude of sins.

1 John 4:7-13


7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Love is of God. The whole essense of God is love. He loved us so much that he sent his son to be the sacrificial lamb for our sins. Has any other god done this in any other religion? No.

You see when I chose to pray my heart was changed to love my enemy. It was not easy and was the hardest thing for me to do. I had to come to terms that the Lord loves this evil person. She is his creation. God will never give up and give this person many opportunities to know him.

Jesus wants us to love all to show Jesus to them through love.

Jesus loves us first to save us, to love others especially the bad and evil eople that don't know Christ allowing Jesus love to love my enemy transformed me and my enemy until they get saved.

This means not to allow envy and jealousy to get in your heart, or bitterness, or accusation, etc. Learn to forgive quickly and pray for your enemies and watch God do miracles in your life.

Through loving the hard people, you will see favor of God everywhere you go.

I leave you with this.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

If we want signs to follow, then practice the principles of loving your enemy and see the power radiate through you because of the Love of Christ is the true power that transforms lives.
