As Christians, we are commanded to love our neighbors no matter what their beliefs may be. By showing them love, we extend the love of Christ to them. We may not believe in their belief system, but that does not mean we are to hate them or do anything malicious to them. God loves them too and Christ died in their place as well. We all were once enemies of God.
God still has a plan for His people the Jews. Right now we are in what is called the “church age” but God will come back to focusing on the Jews once again after the Rapture. Our focus should be praying for those that are still lost and without Christ; Muslims, Jews, atheists and every other group of people.
The Apostle Paul, who was once a Jew himself of the highest degree, always started with his Jewish heritage when he came to a new city. “And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "’He is the Son of God.’” And all who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?’”- Acts 9:20-21.
“When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.” - Acts 13:5.
“But they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.” - Acts 13:14.
Paul has a deep desire for his people to turn to God like he did. We should have that same desire for the lost to turn to Christ like we have. Pray for those that are terrorized by hatred. Pray that God will turn their hearts towards Him and save them.
Have a great day and God bless.
