2. Love Fervently 1 Peter 1:22-25

3. Philippians 1:6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

4. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

5. John 5:37-42 And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. 38 You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from men; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

6. John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

7. John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 15:12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

8. John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 15:12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Romans 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

9. 1 John 2:9-11 9 The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

10. 1 John 3:10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

11. 1 John 3:10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. 1 John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

12. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

14. Luke 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

15. In Acts 12:5 So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God.

16. 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

17. 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

18. Excel Still More Thessalonians 4:9-10 Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; 10 for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more,

19. Practical Love We need to forgive each other. We need to focus on each other. We need to adjust to each other. We need to reach beyond our comfort zone. We need to use our words to encourage each other.
