As a follower of Jesus, I am called to cling to what is good and avoid what is evil. (Romans 12:9, 21)
Clinging to the good and avoidance of evil relates to showing affection to people how?
I look for the good in everyone; that shines through. I don't always know what others are going through; I seek to understand and put myself in their situation: what made them choose to say/do/act in that certain way. That is a step in a direction of showing affection.
I also belive hospitality and affection are related. Being hospitable and affectionate toward others is welcoming them in as children of God (whether believers or not). I love because God first loved me. When I show affection toward all people, I am reflecting His love.
