Loving Through Grace, Not Judgment

January 28, 2025

When faced with those who do not share our faith, it can be tempting to withdraw or judge. However, Jesus calls us to love everyone as He loves us, without condition or bias. In Matthew 5:44, He says, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Loving those who do not love Christ means showing grace, kindness, and understanding, just as God extends His grace to all. Remember, our actions may be the closest representation of Jesus someone encounters.

Living Out the Gospel in Actions

Words alone may not lead someone to Christ, but a life lived in love and service can speak volumes. Colossians 4:5-6 reminds us to “be wise in the way you act toward outsiders” and to have our words “seasoned with salt.” Love those who do not love Christ by being patient, meeting their needs, and showing the peace and joy that comes from your faith. Through your life, they may see the beauty of God’s love and be drawn to Him.
