expects that Christian growth in purity and holiness would result in deeper
love among Christians—not merely outward appearance or profession, but sincere
love for Christian brothers and sisters. Despite our differences and
disagreements, we can have sincere love for one another, and as we grow in
holiness, we can learn to love each other intensely because of the Holy Spirit
within us (John 13:34-35).
Peter
gave another reason to love others: Believers have a common ground in Christ.
We have all been born again; we are sinners saved by grace. Our new life did
not come from our earthly parents; that life will one day end in death. Our new
life will last forever because it was given to us by the eternal, living word
of God. God’s word lives and endures forever, because God who gave it lives and
endures from eternity past to eternity future. How much do you love others?
That is evidence that you are truly born again.
Food for Thought: Do you have evidence to prove that you are born
again?
Prayer: God, help me to love others as you loved me in Jesus
name.
