Would you please stand with me as we read from the Word of God.
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,
23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
24 for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
Entice: Today Peter reminds us that Christ is interested as much in the love that connects us as He is in the truths that define us. Sadly, we do not always get his point, understand his argument, or execute his plan.

Salvation is both personal and corporate. I talk about this all of the time. It is crucial we understand this key point. And in this text Peter wants us to know that everything about our common salvation. Holiness. New Birth. Preaching. All of this enables us to fulfill the command to love one another.

////I'm not in love/// in 1975 10cc transformed an unimpressive song by infusing it with human personality. What sounds like lush orchestrations are actually the voices of the band members recorded hundreds of times

Our commitment to the content of our gospel and focus on love empowers us to be a unified community of faith living here as aliens in our fallen world. Different? Yes!

We need to think right, live right, and depend upon the Word. When we get that right it results in a love that is attractive and transformative.
