THE 14TH OF AUGUST
THE LOVE OF THE BRETHREN
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you – 1 Peter 1:22-25
The apostle Peter reminds us that our lives on earth are just a moment compared to eternity and that love is the key for us as Christians to live right and remain in Jesus.
The Holy Spirit purifies our souls as we obey God’s truth, so that we might sincerely and fervently love our brothers in Christ, from a pure heart. We are to love one another with no hidden interests or for personal gain. We were born-again through the incorruptible seed of God’s Word and that changed us into eternal beings that will live forever with their Lord in glory. Those who leave this earth rejecting the Lord until their end, will be separated from God, damned and tormented forever. It sure pays to be obedient to God, sincerely loving Him and fervently loving one another.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for Your love and wisdom. You make all things to work together in harmony and by following Your directions, I can live the best life possible. Please help me understand and receive Your perfect unconditional love so that I can love others in the same way and be with You forever. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen
