Bible Question:
1 Peter 1:22-23 How does one develop a sincere love of others? |
Bible Answer: (1Pe 1:22 KJV) 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: Sincere or unfeigned love is restricted in its flow from God through us by the relational "walls" we establish between us and others. These come from past or present betrayals, rejections ect. (real or percieved). By "obeying the truth", forgiveness, a gift given from the heart (not the mind only)[Mat 18:35] purifies the soul (mind, will and emotions) bringing increase to ones ability to love. (1Jo 2:9 KJV) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. Forgiveness places us in light where God's love flows. [sonlight] |
