Jesus urged us to adopt a new way of living that is pleasing to God, and as a result, we are changing as well. As God’s children, we are obligated to respect, love, and honour everyone. Jesus also values and loves us, so we ought to live the way he advised.
Everyone wants to be treated with respect, so we must respect and love those around us. We must first love people before we may see God. We are here to fulfil God’s desires so that we can get to heaven.
