In some way, we might see this same kind of difference in how we have been told to treat one another in this world. For instance, we are told to love our enemies. What does this mean? Are we to treat them the same as those who are of the household of faith? I believe it is a different kind of love.

All together now, What is the Great Commandment and the next to the Greatest Commandment? And what is the Greek word for what we are to do to our neighbor and our enemies?
Doesn't it make sense that if Jesus tells us to love our neighbors and our enemies and we are being progressively changed into His image, He must love His enemies, also? Else why would He tell us to do something He refuses or cannot do?
