God’s love compels us to love

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. (John 12:47 ESV)

 What we do know is that God is love, and He’s not willing that any should perish. He loves every single man, woman, and child, no matter who they are, where they live, what color their skin is, what their ancestors did or didn’t do, and what they believe or don’t believe. He still loves them, even if their lives are consumed with sin or they live in spiritual darkness. That’s what makes Christianity so beautiful—God’s love compels us to love everyone and to share His truth and love with as many people as we can.
 God looks at the individual. Each person is a unique individual, created in His image, and He loves each one as if they were the only one. Each person is someone Jesus died to save. He loves and cares for all people—even those who don’t know Him or haven’t received Him, or have rejected Him.
 Everywhere on the planet there are people in need of Jesus and His love, people who are lonely, lost, unhappy, and searching for answers.
 Our core purpose is to bring the Good News of salvation and God’s love to as many people as we can, while living that love and giving it to others. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because he himself is the way. —Thomas Aquinas
