Who enters an evangelical way of living must be prepared to meet enemies, which cannot be softened by adapting to their way of thinking and proceedings. Jesus was constantly surrounded by enemies focused on destroying Him. Neither did He gain them for Himself, nor did they win Him for themselves. Jesus’ disciples should go in the footprints of the Master. A disciple of Jesus should love even enemies. An enemy can use all sources: slander, calumny, gossips, violence, and Jesus’ disciple has only one answer – it is the goodness of heart filled with love. Such an attitude overgrown human opportunities requires a close relationship with Jesus. A Christian cannot destroy anyone, always should be focused to gain his opponent. It is about to win an enemy for God and His matter. Such love is fighting. Her victory consists on filling the heart of an enemy with love. Every day we say: Father, forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Let’s ask ourselves, if our hearts are filled with love for our enemies?
