"Imperatives can easily sound rude or angry, depending on the situation and your tone of voice. Please helps to soften a command. Using modals (such as would and could) is a more polite and indirect way to tell someone to do something. (Intermediate grammar: From Form to Meaning and Use, 1996, p. 37)" http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/ej30/a3.html

God's Truth: Equality of God's Love

Lord. I Want To Be Like Jesus (song) Charlie Evans

1. Jesus teaches us to love everyone.
2. We are all equal (the same) in God's eyes.
3. We are all created in God's image.
4. Because of Jesus, we are never beyond the reach of God's love and forgiveness.
This is the opposite of the teaching of the religious law-keepers who say do not love sinners! Eight times the Bible (God's Word to us) says: "A man looks at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart." (I Samuel 16:7c, NLV) We are all important to God! (Genesis 1:27, NLV)
"For I know that nothing can keep us from the love of God. Death cannot! Life cannot! Any other power cannot! Hard things now or in the future cannot! The world above or the world below cannot! Any other living thing cannot keep us away from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39, NLV)
"Love your neighbor as yourself." (You may read these verses in Leviticus 19:18, Mark 12:31, Mark 12:33, Romans 13:9, Galatians 5:14, James 2:8, Matthew 19:19, and also Matthew 22:39.) "All of you are God's children because of your faith in Christ Jesus. Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman." (Galatians 3:26 and 28, CEV) "Whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help." (Hebrews 4:16, CEV)

The Pharisees (or religious leaders when Jesus lived) could not understand this teaching to love everyone! (For more understanding about God's way to love, read Luke 6:27-42 and I John 3:11, 16-19).

"If we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away." (I John 1:9-10, CEV)
"Even though your sins are bright red, they will be as white as snow. Even though they are dark red, they will be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18, NLV) "I will forgive their sins. I will remember their sins no more." (Jeremiah 31:34c, NLV)
