THE LOVE OF JESUS IS DEFINED IN THE BIBLE AS BEING NICE BUT STAYING WITHIN THE CRITERIA OF AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WITHOUT SIN. AS A CHRISTIAN WE ARE COMMANDED BY GOD TO SHOW NO MERCY TO THE FALSE GODS. (JOSH. 11:10-20) PSALM 1 INTERPRETS THE LOVE OF JESUS AS NOT BEING PARTIAL TO ANOTHER PERSONS' FAITH, OR IN SUPPORT OF THEIR SINS. (IIJOHN 10-11) THE BIBLE INSTRUCTS A CHRISTIAN TO NOT BE RUDE OR HAUGHTY IN ICOR. A CHRISTIAN MUST FIND A WAY TO SPEAK/ACT IN A MANNER OF LOVE WHEN THE UNSAVED WANT TO DISPLAY THEIR SIN, WITHOUT PARTAKING IN THEIR SIN. THE WORLDLY MAY SPEAK ABOUT CANE & ABLE, AND OF NOT BEING THEIR KEEPER NOR JUDGE. PLEASE REALIZE SOMETIMES A CHRISTIAN MUST SPEAK UP TO DEFEND THEIR OWN SALVATION, AS WRITTEN ABOUT IN EZEK. 33:6. THIS MAY GO AGAINST BEING COURTEOUS ACCORDING TO WORLDLY STANDARDS. AT THIS TIME, A CHRISTIAN HAS TO KEEP IN MIND GODS' PERSPECTIVE AND SEE THEMSELVES AS GOD DOES. THIS WAY THE CHRISTIAN WILL REALIZE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE BEHAVING PROPERLY. A KEY TO STAYING VICTORIOUS: DO NOT LISTEN TO THE WORLDS' DEFINITION OF "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." JOSHUA 11:10-20 AND PSALM. 1 AFFIRM A CHRISTIAN IS TO REALIZE THE WORLDS' DEFINITON OF LOVE/KINDNESS DOESN'T CORRESPOND WITH THEIR STANDARDS. A CHRISTIAN CAN'T CONSIDER THE WORLD AS A "NEIGHBOR" FOR THEY'RE NOT ON THE SAME PLANE. (ADAMIC NATURE VS. CHRISTLIKE NATURE)
