That is the truest statement I've ever heard. There's a song that says, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love." True, but the love they really need is the love of God. John 3:16-17  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." If we believe from our heart, we will not experience being cast into the lake of fire. The love of the world  is prideful, lustful, sensual, and appeals to the flesh. God's love is kind, compassionate,  true, not self-seeking or hurtful, behaves properly, is long-suffering. Read 1 Corinthians 13. Sometimes God shows tough love. Sometimes we have to show tough love.  We need to show the world God's love by learning how to love the person, not the sin. The Holy Ghost within us reproves the world of sin. We must learn to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove in our relationships. We are not to be a partaker of their sins. We need to recognize that some people are demon possessed and we need to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in how we relate to them. Many times demons are only cast out when we have prepared through fasting and prayer. Let us always be ready to show God's love.
