       Especially in today’s world, it is true that with certain positions we hold, moral or whatever, unbelievers are going to label us as the problem and as dividers. But we can still love them in return when they get mad as us, and not return their anger with anger ourselves. God loves everyone in the world, and so can we. Sometimes it’s true that you’ve done everything you can to be at peace with a non-Christian, but the other person doesn’t want to have peace with you. That’s why Paul said, “Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible” (Romans 12:18, TLB). Or, to look at the English Standard Version, it says “so far as it depends on you.” We can only do so much to make peace with others who have something against us. The other person can sometimes have a pride issue on their part, and not want to let the personal offense go. Now, with Christians, there should not be an instance where you would not be at peace with another person. Life is more than whatever offense has occurred.
