Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
Hatred stirs up conflict,
Proverbs 10:12
but love covers over all wrongs.
My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
James 5:19-20
Love is the remedy for the wounds caused by sin, the gaps that grow between us because of transgression. We might be inclined to hate and alienate those who sin but the Bible teaches grace and love. More importantly, our God, the one whom the Bible is designed to lead us toward, sets the great example of divine grace and unconditional love toward all of his creation. Once we learn about that and accept his grace, how can we not demonstrate that same love to others since we know the worth?
