We aren’t supposed to sit back and watch as the evil powers try and overtake us and try to turn us to toward their way of living. We are to continue to live right in the eyes of God and perhaps turn some of them back from the fire that awaits them. Rather than give them a dose of their own medicine, we must continue to be good to them. We have been given life because of God's great love for us; we shouldn’t want anyone to suffer eternal damnation. I know what you’re thinking; I had to ask myself if I really believed that because everything in me wants to fight back with the same kind of force they use, but after I talked it out with God, I came to conclude that those who are doing evil things are ultimately deceived. If they knew the truth about God, they wouldn’t do what they do. Our weapons are different; they are spiritual, and we must use them to turn the forces of darkness away. So, keep shining the light of Jesus, and the darkness will flee; that’s real love.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1
