Let love be genuine, hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good Romans 12:9
Bless those who persecute you and hate evil. How? Stay alert and active in serving Christ. Recognize evil then stay away from avenging yourself (vindication is God’s prerogative not yours) and genuinely love as Christ loves.
Paul’s inspired words from the entire text are summary guidance for you to live transformatively as a loving disciple. For, in order for someone else to be guided to the New Birth there has to be repentance, and for someone else to be led to the moment of repentance they become ashamed of themselves, and shame is the Holy Spirit’s flicker of light on the conscience of the unbeliever.
Disciples turn others to Christ with consistently genuine love.
