Does Jesus Really Love You?

Summary
Jesus summarizes all law under two commands: love God completely and love your neighbor as yourself. This love must be unconditional, without strings attached, extending even to enemies—canceling debts through forgiveness rather than returning evil for evil.
Highlights
Love is a choice. When people choose to retaliate against you, you have the choice whether to love them and forgive them. Forgiveness and love cancels the debt of what the person has done to you.
Love keeps no record of wrong. Love looks past the junk. Love looks past the grudges and sees that they are made in the image of God and they're valuable.
When you see yourself rightly in the eyes of Christ, you can love your neighbor as yourself the same way a goldsmith purifies gold—when he looks over the pot and sees his reflection in the gold.
