SCRIPTURE: "Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart," (I Peter 1:22)
OBSERVATION: Sincere love involves the giving of yourself. When you do this it takes your eyes off yourself, and helps you to see and meet the needs of others.
APPLICATION: In this blog I am going to share with you several verses that relate to this topic. I know the Holy Spirit will use them to take you deeper.
John 13:34 Jesus says, "Let me give you a new command; Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognzie that you are my disciples - when they see the love you have for each other."
Romans 12:9-10 says, 'Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them...Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
2 Peter 1:7 says, "Godliness lead to love for other Christians, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone. The more you grow life this, the more you will become productive and useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Peter 4:8 says, "Above ALL, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins,"
I Peter 1:22 I love the way The Message puts this verse.
"Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it"
PRAYER: Father God, thank you for unconditionally loving me. Help me to love others the way you love me.
