John 13:34

Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

"Love is a magnet that draws believers together and unbelievers to Christ."

The Lord tells us to love each other. That does not mean that we should only love other Christians, but also to love the unbelievers, even if they are our enemy, because that is the way the Lord loves people, and in order for us to be like Him we must also love like this. The first love here is to love each other as Christians, for if we do that we come closer together and closer to the Lord. The second love that we must have is to love the unbelievers, and our enemies are included as a part of this love. If we love these people then they will start to think, in terms of our enemies, they will think how can they still love me when all I have done is persecute them, and mabey a change for the better will start in their life. In terms of unbelievers if we show love and compassion towards them then hopefully they will be convicted and come to believe in the Lord. I believe that love does not only mean that we should, for lack of a better word love them, but it also means as Christians that we should share the Word and Love of Christ.
