President Dallin H. Oaks: ‘Love Your Enemies’ | October 2020 General Conference

Summary points: Followers of Christ must forgo the anger and hatred with which political choices are debated or denounced. A “well-known but rarely practiced” teaching of the Savior is to “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44). Individuals learn to love his or her enemy or adversary by avoiding anger or hostility, increasing in the love of Christ, and by keeping the laws of his or her country. It is possible to obey and seek to improve a nation’s laws and also to love adversaries and enemies. “While not easy, it is possible with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ.” ★ Get a free Book of Mormon here ➜ https://www.calledtoshare.com/iBookOf...
