The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this second part of his discussion on Non-Retaliation and Love of Enemies, Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of taking Jesus' teachings on this matter literally, without seeking loopholes or exceptions. He also discusses the idea that loving our enemies does not mean we must condone their actions or refrain from seeking justice, but rather we should not seek revenge or harbor hatred towards them. Gregg encourages Christians to prioritize righteousness over self-preservation and to trust God with the outcomes of any legal disputes or consequences that arise from doing what is right.
