Receive love
We have received God's constant care and love whether we are evil or good. We live in God's love. No one can deny it. Yes, we might go through hard times, but in the end we all will be accountable on how we responded to God's daily care for our lives. Not one of us will be able to say that God has not provided for us. God rule of love is not dependent on our inherent goodness or outward activities.

"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:44-45).

Give love
Because of this provision of love, we are expected to reflect this kind care for others by the way we treat others. God's love is perfect and constant. We are responsible to treat one another with love. God did not just love the righteous, and so we too are to love all.

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax-gatherers do the same? "And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:46-48).
