Our faith in Jesus purifies and transforms us so that we have sincere love for each other in our hearts. God gave us His one and only Son because He so loved the world. Our lives change when we love one another deeply, not with mere words, but from our hearts. We should get rid of all malice and deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind so that we may walk in love.

We have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of what is imperishable through the living and enduing word of God. Nothing in this world, not even human glory, endures forever. Only the word of the Lord endures forever. We must acknowledge that it is His word that allows us to grow. As we grow in our salvation, we will grow into the image of God and in our love for one another.
Application: Lord, thank you for giving us new birth through Your word. Help us to crave Your word so that by it we may grow up in our salvation. Help us to love one another deeply from our hearts just as You have loved us.
One Word: Love one another deeply
