A Sincere Love For Our Brothers And Sisters

 We cannot purify our own hearts. We cannot manufacture a sincere love for one another. We are unable to fervently love one another in our own strength. He purified our soul at the point of salvation and continues to purify it day by day, as we confess our sins, keep ourselves in fellowship with Him, and obey the truth of His Word. Godly conduct only comes from a godly character, and a godly character only comes from Christ; as we remain in Him and He in us.
 As believers, we are the most privileged people on this earth. We know that our citizenship is in heaven and that we have an inheritance that is being kept for us. We are blessed beyond comparison because, in obedience to God's Word, we have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have been obedient to the truth through FAITH.
 As we continue to purify our hearts and souls through living a life of faith in obedience to Christ's commands, He will pour into our heart A Sincere Love For Our Brothers And Sisters that only comes through faith in Him. We can only fervently love one another from the heart as the love of Christ streams into our soul and out to others.
1 Peter 1:22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

Our United Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that in obedience to Your Word of truth we have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and have had our sin-sick souls cleansed by His blood and purified, through faith in Him. We pray that we would develop sincere love for all our brothers and sisters in Christ. Give us Christlike love, we pray. Develop in us sacrificial love, so that we may fervently love others from the heart. We pray that we would grow in grace and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and that He would increase and we would decrease until it is not we that live, but Christ that lives in us, and His love that flows through us. This we Pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.
