Lev. 19:18 love your neighbour

In bible language loving someone might be hating the other. When you love sinners, be careful that you might not enter into enemty with God. When you love a sinner, the ultimate goal is to 'call' them for the repentance. Its not difficult because once we were there.

We love people because we love God. God is love. In Old Testament, hating God would result a public punishment. "but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face" Dt. 7:10

Ex. 30:17-21 Laver

You want to wash your hands before you eat. You dont take bathe before you eat because you already had a bath. Laver talks about cleansing.

1. Repentance and forgiveness
John the baptist was not teaching on baptism. His teaching was on repentance and forgiveness.

2. Roots and fruits
John called them brood of vipers. When he said brood, he was talking about their roots. When he said go and show the fruits of repentance he was talking about fruits.

Peter asked the Lord why he was washing his feet. Jesus said that if he doesnt wash then he has no part in him. Then Peter replied "then wash my head also". Then Jesus said, "the one bathed has no need to bath again, just washing hands and feet will do".

A man who is baptized has no need to take baptism again if he sins. He can repent.

3. Fruits and roots
He said every tree that doesnt give fruits will be cut off because the axe is at the roots. 

Punishment and result

Father said to son, "son, do not go this way. On this road I saw a big pit. This is a dangerous road. I will beat you if you take this road"

Feared to the punishment son replied, "ok, dad I will not go this way."

Yet, son's heart wanted to see the pit there. He wanted to find a chance to go on that road. There came a day that his dad is not around. So the son took his bicycle and went on this dangerous road. Suddenly he fell down into the pit. He broke his leg.

Then he heard a voice, "my son." Son lifted up his head and saw his dad. His father had tears in his eyes. Son said, "sorry dad." His dad came down and saved his son.

Lying on the hospital bed son asked,"are you not going to punish me dad?"

Father replied, "my son, I am not going to punish you. I forgive you. Nevertheless, I want you to know that the punishment for your disobedience has stopped but the result of your disobedience was not stopped. It broke your leg."
