1 Peter 1, 2, The Message
22-25 Now that you’ve cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That’s why the prophet said,

The old life is a grass life,
its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers;
Grass dries up, flowers droop,
God’s Word goes on and on forever.
This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

1 Peter 2, The Message
1-3 So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. You’ve had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Then you’ll grow up mature and whole in God.

What do we learn?
–Love God. Love Others…like HE loves us. Revolutionary.

Dear Heavenly Father, We find that the more we love You and understand how much You love us, our love grows and matures. We live less for self and more for You and others. Your love is amazing, perfect and the most excellent way. Help us to live and love more like You. In Jesus Name, Amen
