I think you missed the point, which is one can exhibit Christ-like love and not be saved. What good does it do for anyone to exhibit Christ-like love and not be saved in the long run?
Good works, being nice, not being a butthole, being a butthole; isn’t how we’re measured. Frankly we don’t measure up and Christ intercedes for us, that’s the main lesson to be learned from Christ, all buddies aside.
And of course we’re to emulate Christ, like this man taking a shotgun blast to save others. I feel for his family and pray God has mercy on his soul.
It will kill you to answer it?
