Love Your Enemies And Pray For Those Who Persecute You

Here's a video that is about the power of God's love to break through. Jesus said, "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"... a very fundamental truth in Christianity. This man's testimony reveals the real world. Real, because everyone in his life actually are living out the fundamental commands of what their books teach. I recently heard someone say that if a person claims to be a Christian or Muslim or Jew, but does not actually follow the commands in context of their entire Bible, Koran, or Torah that they are just "Cultural" Christians, Muslims and Jews etc. They pick and choose what they want to follow out of all the fundamental teachings. In contrast, those who actually follow the entirety of what their book teaches in context are fundamental or true to their faith. This ex Muslim said, "it is easy to do what the Koran says, and it is hard to do what the Bible says." This is such a powerful testimony revealing the true nature of who God is through Jesus Christ, and how only through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit can a person be empowered to truly Forgive, Love Their Enemies, Pray for those who persecute them.....to do all the fundamental teachings of what God (Jesus) taught. Jesus was once only a prophet to this man, until he experienced his love and forgiveness! There is a radical genuinness in following the entire counsel and teachings of any book, whether it is right or wrong, and those who are actually radical/fundamental/genuine/real reveal or witness what those books teach. But there is a massive moral obligation we have to discern what is true and good compared to what is apathetic and indifferent and false and evil. There's no argument that the fundamental principles that Jesus taught and demonstrated are life transforming, true, good and eternal. Everything He did was right and just, and through repentance of sin,  placing ones trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and living out what Jesus taught we can all experience extreme forgiveness , healing love, eternal salvation, true peace.
