Because God loved us first and made a way for us to be righteous before His eyes, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. When we accept and grow in His knowledge and get to know His character...we will pray to see others as He sees us and that His love is eventually to lead into overflowing onto others. He loves, therefore so do we. We cannot have this kind of love and concern for our fellow man without the Love of God inside us.
As much as we empty ourselves of ourselves and let Him replace our desires with His, this love will come naturally ♥ We strive to love His will, and His will is what I pray for all the time.
People are all born very selfish. As an infant this a survival mechanism, but to get along with anyone we must change. Jesus was the one who rather being selfish was selfless. Christians are supposed become like him, so when you see a lot of selfishness still in a person we must wonder where is the Jesus?
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." Phil 2:3

The two Great Commandments:
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 5:5 says, And hope maketh not ashamed: because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
I love you because Christ loved me first (1 John 4:19); and because I am forgiven much (Luke 7:36-50).

Everyone is a pox on the world if they are not Saved and they are just a curse on all.
Such people live in a hell of there own making, just Vampires, leaches, lost without a cause and that's why they cause so much pain to themselves and all around them.
And a saved Christian knows the pain that such are and all, it's very said to see just how lost that they are. they are like a Hog with tusk that will only come at one only so as to destroy and like a Hog that's all they do. they are a pest. many of the religious are the same Hog, but they are not truly Saved Christians at all.
We love the Sinner but we hate the sin, so by that we are wishing all the best in the hope that they become true to the dignity of a Man or a Woman that they can be.
As we see with Satanism is that they only work to undermine the truth of a Man or Woman, we see the works of such nowadays with Political Correctness that's just bastardising everything for a lie, trying to twist children's minds up and turn everything upside down, undermining everything that is worthy and promoting degenerates, abortions, champion divorce so as to try destroy families and sadly most are not awake to such cunning great deceptions that empowers the fools. the new generation now think that they are champion's of had an abortion that they were it with pride, the same is so with divorce, or gay pride is championed as the greatest thing and if anyone challenges such views, they will try to do malic in every way they can, try to bash you up try to destroy you in any way that they can think of, that's the new age trash that are just Politically Correct new age Nazi type of total bastards.
I have had packs of socialist like so come to try to bash me up many a time, but never one by him self, that's how gutless they are, and not one of them that I would call a man, but just piss boys.
Yes, it says I don't tell some kid I love him because I was ordered to by God.

Ah, but you have shown Agape love, which is the kind we are called to. Simply by the giving of your time to even post something encouraging. Kind of like, "And whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward."10:42
Yes, I care about sincere seekers (even if their seeking is only sometimes partially sincere), but I can't really feel any "love" for someone I don't know.

I hear you on that. I don't think anybody can but, we can show His love and you did IMO.
The love of God is shed abroad in the heart of every genuine bona fide born again believer (Romans 5:5). And that is all I have to say about any of this. To say, "I don't love you," is not exhibiting God's love, impaho.
But I understand that you either do or you don't.
What I protest is the subtle implication that the love of the Lord that is in my heart isn't genuine. I know that it is. And that is not glory to me...it is glory to the Lord! It is His love that He has placed there...and I think it has been shown in deed and in truth.

The trouble with boasts like this is that it is all too easy for anyone here to check the archives, and see some of the "loving" things we have actually posted previously. (Oops!)
Praise God...I know exactly what you are talking about...and what you don't realize is that those things were indeed said out of genuine love, even though they were harsh words intended to wake someone up out of a false belief and to save them.
I am of the opinion that real love is not always a touchy-feely type of thing that always feels good to the recipient.
If I see a blind man walking towards the edge of a cliff where he would fall 5,000 feet to the rocks below, the most loving thing to do would be to tackle him and do everything in my power to convince him to walk in the opposite direction. He might say, "who are you to tell me that walking in this direction will be to my death? Someone else told me to walk in this direction!" (who might that be?) "I am not blind...I know perfectly that this is the way I want to go...and you are some kind of bigot to tell me that I will die if I keep walking in this direction...this is the direction I want to go and I am sticking to it..."
Now love might dictate that I even put a straight-jacket on him and carry him off to somewhere far away from that cliff.
But of course so many Christians look at this and say, "Let the blind be blind...he has a right to walk over the edge of that cliff if he wants to...who are you to try and stop him? He is blind after all, and therefore not as important as someone who can see..."

1 Corinthians 13:1-3,
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as a sounding brass, or clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing.

And here is some scripture for you: Matthew 7:1-6, Luke 6:37, Romans 2:1-3, and James 4:11-12. Which is to say, anytime you point your finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at you.
You don't even know me, and yet you presume to judge; not on the basis of what scripture says, but out of the flesh. Jesus said not to do that in John 7:24, John 8:15.
Your very first post to me came as a subtle attack on what I had spoken.
Now may the Lord abundantly bless you and give you the desires of your heart; and I mean that.
