"Fervent Love"
I Peter 1:22b "...love one another fervently with a pure heart."
Pretty straightforward and simple. Well, straightforward anyway. Love may be kinda simple but seldom easy. Especially when it comes to loving one another. So, let's define fervently and pure. Fervently is defined as... having or showing great warmth of intensity of spirit, feeling or enthusiasm. Pure is defined as... free from anything of a different, inferior or contaminating kind, free from extraneous matter.
So, fervently loving is a high-level commitment to excellence. A love like Jesus loves with. An unconditional love. Agape love. Willing to forgive, go the extra mile and to care with our whole hearts. Love one another fervently with a pure heart.
With His fervently pure love,
Pastor Fred
