Your conclusion speaks volumes, “We love because He first loved us.” When we really understand what Jesus accomplished on the Cross, we can find the strength to combat and defeat our naturally tendency of tit for tat. We were God’s enemies… bent on self-worship, which of course requires suppressing the knowledge of the One True God. But while we were yet sinners, He chose to go to the cross and redeem us. The ultimate picture of “turning the other cheek.” Ours should be a lifestyle (I have a long way to go) that refuses to do what comes naturally, and instead, do what makes people say, “what on earth is wrong with that dude?” The world shouldn’t be able to make sense of the lives of believers, but when the Holy Spirit moves in their life, stirring the desire for God, leads them to ask, “what is this faith you have?” Great piece… blessings!
