Luke 6:35 "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked" NIV. Some may ask how is God kind to the ungrateful and wicked. First, he hasn't just wiped them out, but first and foremost God wants to see them saved. Romans 5:8 Says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Yes, God does and will judge the wicked and ungrateful, but before then he wants to see them saved and changed. God offers mercy even to those that He knows will never accept Him. Now Jesus is telling us to do the same. Love them without expecting to get anything out of it. Yes, it's hard but when we do we imitate God. Also, when we do there are times we will get something in return, a changed heart.
