Yes a very important chapter as our faith in Christ hangs on love.
No love for others shows that a person is not a true born again believer in Christ, and that love is to be shown in actions, deeds, speech, and works. Criticizing, name calling, belittling, and demeaning of others in speech is not love. We are called to love, pray, and do good to even our enemies and those who persecute us. Persecuting which is another strong word, because it is another one of those that does not have to been in the physical sense. As people can be persecuted verbally.[/QUOTE]
