not a criticism but a challenge!

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.
(1 Peter 1:22) Ok . . . we are born again . . . saved from sin . . . forgiven . . . now what? Peter instructs us to live it out. Sincere love should flow from within our renewed hearts and be shown in our actions to one another within the church body. Folks on the outside should see Christ's love reflected in how we treat one another. They should want what we have! Is this the reality in our churches today . . . even within our nuclear families? Is Chrit's love at work? Can others see it . . . feel it . . . want it for themselves? This is not a criticism but a challenge! Let us be know by our love . . . for God and one another!
