It can be hard to love those who turn their backs on Christ, but the truth is that we all separate ourselves from God’s love at different points in our lives. Learning how to love others in their worst times as well as their best times is an essential part of imitating the life of Christ. We are all called to love the sinner, but to hate the sin. This is easy to say but a rather difficult ideal to live out. However, by God’s grace we can all come to love unconditionally for the sake of the kingdom.
