because of the cross: I can love others by ric Gustafson
Romans 12:10 says be devoted to one another in brotherly love. John 13:35 says by this all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. We have a love for our spouses, children, parents and friends. This love is based on who they are, what they mean to us and how they make us feel. The Cross changes that. Because of the Cross, this love is deeper and unconditional. It is a love that we love those who hurt us, make mistakes and it makes us love at all times. That means we can love the ungrateful, the unfair, the unjust, the imprisoned, the lonely, the homeless, the liar, the cheater, the thief, the murderer, the abuser and the unloved.
Only because of the cross can we love and be loved unconditionally.
