How do we know that Christians are to love their enemies?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).

In Matthew 5:44, Jesus instructs His followers, 'But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.' This command challenges the natural inclination to respond to animosity with hatred. By loving our enemies, we reflect God's character, who demonstrates kindness to both the righteous and the wicked. This act of love is evidence of true faith and obedience to Christ, showing that we are His children, embodying His mercy and grace instead of earthly vengeance.
