Christians firmly believe that
each person is created in God’s image,
loved by God unconditionally,
redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross,
called to eternal communion with God in heaven,
and therefore deserving of our kindness.
However:
In some cases you may run into a person who is not willing to change. He or she won’t acknowledge destructive behaviors or take responsibility for them. In that circumstance you may need to sever the relationship, at least temporarily. It is not an expression of love to continue enabling someone’s dysfunctional behavior by exhibiting the kind of toleration that tacitly approves of it.
