1st Peter 1:22. “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”
LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH A PURE HEART. There is no room – no place for pretense The Holy Spirit has taught truth and I have some sense Of the value of love for the people of God Who also are purified by obeying God’s Word; Our lives we share in the good times and bad, Knowing God can prosper or take all we had To make us like Christ who with a fervent love Laid aside all He had so that He could give What we needed most and that He could supply, When for us He bore our sins and for us did die.
Love was the reason Christ stayed on the cross Love in now the reason why we will not be lost. That same love should be seen from me to others, Evidence is seen of love by how I respond to my brothers, And how much I’m prepared to give that they might know I love them in Christ, and by my love I can show That what happens to them is important to me – It is by fervent love they are enabled to see The Spirit has worked in me like He worked in them And we are one together because we are one in Him.
“Father, these are Thy children and their needs are varied. I can’t meet all those needs, but I can love the needy. Help me to help them in whatever way is appropriate. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
The word of God is one of the two things used to bring new birth to us. The Holy Spirit of God is the other. When these two come together, life is generated in the human soul, and those who were dead in trespasses and sins are now alive in the power of Christ's life given to us. The information from the word of God, and the direct action of the Spirit of God in convicting us of sin, revealing Christ to us as the sacrifice for sin and regenerating us produces eternal life. The power of the Gospel-seed is imperishable because by its very nature it is a living and enduring message. We are redeemed by the incorruptible blood of Christ, so we have an incorruptible inheritance. We will have an incorruptible body and an incorruptible crown to give our incorruptible King who we serve. All of this is made possible when we come alive by the incorruptible word of God "that liveth and abideth forever." All possessions, accomplishments and people will fade and disappear, but God's will, God's word and God's work is permanent.
