True love

 1st Peter1:22-25


 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 fervently1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.



The type of love that we are expected to show to each other is clearly stated above.Take note of the words "unfeigned" and "fervently". These are strong expressions of how we should  demonstrate our love for the brethren.It should be unconditional, not attached to any expected benefit.There is no reason for us to be gratifying our flesh which will wither away like grass one day. Whatever act of love, kindness and compassion we show to each other matter the most to God. By doing this,  we are actually preaching the truth of the gospel that Jesus Christ has sent us to do. If we are engaged in massive evangelism, cast out evil spirits and pray for fire to come down like Elijah but fail to show true love to one another especially those in the household of faith, our service to God will be in vain. I pray for the reader of this message not to serve God in vain without reward in Jesus name
