Christianity teaches that love is the greatest of all virtues, that God is love, and that we must love others as we would want to be loved. We are called to be peacemakers, to forgive, and to treat others with dignity and respect.

 

 

“However you want people to treat you, so treat them” - Jesus, recorded in Matthew 7:12

 

“Let us not love with just words or with our speech, but in deed and truth!” - I John 3:18

 

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Paul, in Galtians, 3:28

 

“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be away with you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” - Ephesians 4:31-32
