He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, …
- Weather is no indication of blessing or curse from God
- Circumstances are not an indication of blessing or curse from God
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? …
- Don’t play the game the world plays; you will lose (no one really wins at that game)
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
- “therefore”, see law and life and people through God’s eyes of love.
1 John 4:18
