How do you know that you love God? Because you love people. And how do you love those around you? By showing mercy to others regardless of political ideology, gender identity, race or ethnicity. Regardless of differing opinions or beliefs. To love God is to love people despite your differences, to be merciful even to those who may hate you for the way that you love them. Jesus calls us to a world-changing standard of compassion for the broken and hurting people of this earth, because while we were still enemies, Christ died for us. Instead of passing judgment onto one another, let us become Christians known by our love because Jesus first loved us.
