1 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.” Through the Spirit, everything the child of God desires to accomplish
needs to be through the Spirit. Obeying the truth, simply put, is obeying the Gospel. As
we do this, the Holy Spirit is at work in our hearts and is producing a change. The moon
cannot radiate light in itself: all the light comes from the sun. Likewise, all our love
comes from God, and it reflects in our hearts as we continue to obey from the heart that
form of doctrine once delivered unto us. This produces a God-like love that is not
generated from us but from our Lord. It’s pure. It’s genuine, and it is a love out of a heart
that Jesus has changed and is changing. See that you love one another with a pure heart.
When this takes place, a lost and dying world can truly see that we are His disciples
indeed.
