Fervent Love Of An Unmixed Heart

What this episode covers

1 Peter 1:22. Pastor Kirk presents the foundation for the relationship among family, church, and Christ. Our relationship with God requires a daily confession and cleansing. Loving the brethern is not based on your feelings, but is based on a purified soul. Someone difficult to love is a measure of your love. The more you overcome your dislike and choose to work on love, the less you notice the flaws of others. The world sees the division in the church and asks, "Why don't you guys love each other?" The moment you put others below you, you destroy the opportunity to love them. To "love fervently" is to work hard at it with a concentrated focus of effort. Your purified soul has been decontaminated by Christ. Can you claim, "With my whole heart, I am going to love my brethren."? Martyrs portray the example of what is like to love the lost with fervent love. Even if you harm me, I am going to work to love you. You are opening yourself up to excruciating pain without protecting yourself to glorify God in your life!
