–44, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Our real struggle, as Ephesians 6:12 teaches, is not against flesh and blood but against the unseen forces of evil in the spiritual realm. When people commit evil acts, many are blinded, deceived, or under the control of darkness. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to forgive—just as our heavenly Father forgives us. The light within us must always shine, because through that light, those walking in darkness can begin to see and learn. Jesus Himself came as the Light of the world, paying the price for our sins so we could be forgiven and transformed. By following His light, we walk in love, mercy, and true freedom.
