1. "This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love then to lay down's one's life for one's friends." -- John 15:12-13
2. "To be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison-your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, even your own life. Otherwise you cannot be [mine]." - Luke 14:26
How do we handle Christ's commands to love and to hate? Do we love with a kind of hate or hate with a kind of love?
God was designed to be our only fulfillment. Our relationships can be idolatrous, If we make them ultimate, above an eternal satisfaction in God, then we will destroy it. Relationships were created to make God glorified (representing him, showing others His worth).
"Sin is building your self worth on anything, but God." -- Soren Kierkeguard
