The command best stated is to "be merciful as your Father is merciful". It well could be thought that to not have enemies is to not have Christ. That is not to say that we don't make enemies of our own; it is there possible that our enemies are in the right. It is rather to say that if we are abiding in Christ, stepping out on His faith in proclamation of His gospel, His enemies will be all the more aggressive towards us as they are toward Him. We are representatives of Him and therefore open targets. In our consideration of declaring certainty it certainly must be considered that we will be met much more aggressively by these enemies. Certainty is not just to be declared by intellectual logic, but also by seemingly illogical convictions committed to the greater good of even those who would rather make us to suffer over it. The logic of it is actually that we at one time were enemies of God like them yet God held Himself to a much higher standard of mercy and love in our case suffering our assaults for as long as it took. We certainly have benefited because of that long suffering, therefore gladly adopt and participate in the same towards them. Declaring Certainty Further Resources: Comment Board:Luke:6:27-36
