How do we know that loving our enemies is God's will?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus teaches in Luke 6:27-36 that loving our enemies is essential to being children of the Most High.

Loving our enemies is foundational in the teachings of Jesus, as outlined in Luke 6:27-36. Here, Christ commands His followers to love those who hate them, to bless those who curse them, and to pray for those who mistreat them. This radical love demonstrates our identity as children of God, who is kind even to the ungrateful and wicked. When we embody this love, we reflect God's character and fulfill His will for our lives. Moreover, it underscores the transformative power of grace that enables us to act against our fleshly instincts and instead respond with compassionate love, marking us as distinct in a world often characterized by enmity and revenge.
