Bible verses about loving others equally and unconditionally

Love is the primary binding force in life.

It holds our hearts together with those we care about.

We all love our brothers, sisters, close friends, and parents.

But, how do we treat new friends or strangers?

Do we love them equally the same way we care for our loved ones?

The bible teaches that we should love one another as we love ourselves and go the extra mile to take care of everyone close to us.

And that includes new friends, strangers, college mates, and colleagues at work.

There is no discrimination in God’s eyes. Therefore, each and everyone should be our neighbor’s keeper.

There are no blacks or whites, beautiful or ugly, in God’s eyes.

Thankfully, there are numerous bible verses about loving others equally.

These verses teach us to, without bias, love everyone around us.

So how do you love others equally?

The scriptures teach us that we should consider ourselves in their shoes.

Will I feel happy if I am treated the same way? 

I have put together bible verses about loving others unconditionally. Read and be blessed.

The story of the good Samaritan

There are many biblical examples to inspire us to love everyone equally. That is, we approach everyone we meet with love and kindness.

A perfect story in the scriptures is the parable of the good Samaritan

In those days, Jesus was tempted by a lawyer. He asked, who is my neighbor?

Then Jesus told a parable of a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho that was robbed and injured on his way.

A priest and Levite saw him helpless and half dead but quickly walked past him without any assistance

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

What we should learn from this story

1. Be kind to everyone (even foreigners)

It is vital that, as Christians, we treat everyone as ourselves.

Don’t be discriminatory or racist in anything you do.

We should be open-minded and show love to people that need it.

The case of the good Samaritan teaches us to love even strangers that we have not seen.

We must show them love and help them in times of need.

2. There is no extent to love others

One common question is, how much love should you show to others? Should you care for them more than yourself?

There is no need for this debate. We all have a conscience and know when we have adequately helped someone in need.

The good Samaritan was so kind that despite performing first aid treatment at the robbery scene, he took him to an inn and paid extra cash for his care and recovery.

There is no limit to helping or loving others.

The good news is that the good Samaritan was trustworthy and had the resources to help. If he hadn’t, he would have just applied first aid and helped in other ways he can

We don’t necessarily need to be rich to love others equally.

We can show our support and love in any way we can

May God open your eyes to love everyone equally and show love to those that are in need. Amen.
