Bible Question: Jesus said to love everyone,but do we have to like them

Bible Answer: jackie4321

It may not be possible for everyone to like everyone. But it is possible to love them in Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Ephesians verse talks about tolerance. The sense seems to be that we are to put up with others and endure in love one another.

Jesus says something interesting to Peter in John 21.

Jesus and Peter are talking in verses 15 about shepherding and thier relationship.

Jesus asks Peter twice if Peter Agapao Jesus - do you have a godly love for me. And Peter answers twice Lord I Phileo you - I have a brotherly love and affection for you. Then Jesus asks the third time but asks, Peter do you Phileo me - do you have brotherly love for me, and Peter is sad and says, Lord you know I Phileo you - I brotherly love you with affection.

So there are two kinds of love, godly love, which comes from the power of God, and human love which comes from human abilities.

Most of the time we are capable of human love, it takes the Spirit of God to be capable of godly love.
