Of course, there are good people out there. But without Jesus, we&#8217;re all lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/build4.scalingyourcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/children-holding-hands-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/build4.scalingyourcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/children-holding-hands-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9865\" width=\"512\" height=\"340\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He shared how 1 John 3:15 talks about how if we hate someone, before God we are just as bad as a murderer. Many people in the world tend to stick with people who are like them, but reject those who are different. Hate can poison a person&#8217;s soul. Unforgiveness is usually the root cause of hate. We as believers must keep hate and bitterness from springing up and defiling the church of Jesus Christ. That&#8217;s you and I who believe in Jesus as our personal Savior, believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, and seek God daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As believers we are not to hate, but we are to love. The world without Jesus really doesn&#8217;t know how to truly love like God does. Love is an action not a feeling. Romans 13:9-10 says we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Loving someone is a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus people think different that the world. We are not a sub-culture but in fact we are a counter culture. God&#8217;s Kingdom is all about bringing people to light and knowledge. Psalm 119:105 says that God&#8217;s word is a lamp to our feet and a light unto our path. John 8:31,32 says that we will know the truth and it will set us free. If you don&#8217;t know the word of God, you can&#8217;t know true freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus people must be the counter culture as Jesus Christ is and bring the chaos and confusion of the world to God&#8217;s wonderful light.
