Loving all: How Christians should relate to people whose lifestyles and beliefs differ from their own.

The church of Jesus Christ must make clear to all people the message of salvation in Christ: this demands that Christians accept that they are sinners who have been saved by Christ; it equally means that we fail our fellow human beings if we do not identify as sinful and as less than God’s ideal that which the Bible classifies as sinful and less that God’s ideal. If people’s sinful behaviour is endorsed and affirmed rather than categorised as sin of which they need to repent and from which they need to be saved, then we fail to show true care and compassion for our fellow human beings and deny them the message of salvation.
