“…see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” (I Peter 1:22)
As Peter wrote to the scattered Christians who were facing opposition from Satan and unbelievers, he was encouraging the Christian community to love one another. It continues to be a message to today’s Christians.
John has a similar word to his readers when he writes, “For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” (I John 3:11)
It was Jesus who said, “…as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:34-35)
On this Valentine’s Day, cards that say, “I love you,” are delivered, along with flowers and gifts. When Jesus went to the cross and died in behalf of mankind, God was showing and proving His great love to us. It was more than a message written with black ink on red or white paper.
Love one another as God loved and continues to love us.
