We don’t attack people in the love of God. We don’t withdraw from them. We accept them. We love them. Loving our neighbor is part of what goes into loving God. As John teaches us in his letter, you cannot love God and not love your neighbor. They don’t fit together, because God actually does love your neighbor. It seems very unlikely to many as they look at their neighbor, but God does love them. — Dallas Willard, Living in Christ’s Presence.
