~ Romans 14:4

―I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel … It will not be like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt … But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says
the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other,
‗Know the Lord‘, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the
Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more‖ ~ Jeremiah 31:31-34
―But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you
may be children of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun rise on both the evil and on
the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous as well. For if you only love those
who love you in return, what reward do you have? … And if you greet only your brothers and
sisters, what more are you doing than others?‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:44-47)
―Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect
… There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love.‖ ~ Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18
