God's love for His children is expressed in many ways. It is the love of God for us that makes Him to give His only begotten Son to save us from our sins, protect us from all evils, provide for our daily needs, heal us when we are sick, and to warn us not to be friends of evil people. God showed His love to the children of Israel by turning the curse of their enemies into a blessing, and by warning them not to make friend with those who planned to curse or harm them.

God knew that these enemies will not change from their selfish and bitter acts toward the children of Israel. They will always want to hurt them. That is why He commanded them not to relate with them. God does not permit us to make friend with ungodly, immoral and wicked people. They will draw us back to sin. We are to pray for them and tell them of the love of Jesus so that they can repent, believe, and accept Jesus as their Personal Lord and Saviour.
