1 Peter 1:22
Now
that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you
have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart.
From a consideration of the
interconnection of God the Father and Jesus, God the Son, Peter takes us to how
then we should act in the knowledge we have of God and the relationship we are
to build in God and with each other through our God.
Now
that you have purified your souls—Coming into
relationship with God, through raising Jesus from the dead, and raising Him to glory,
from thence comes the purifying of our souls.
by
your obedience to the truth—This is the true measure
of how we come into relationship with our Lord for the purification of our
souls.
so
that you have genuine mutual love,--It is not
simply about an individual relationship with God that we do this work, it is
for the building of relationship between us.
love
one another deeply from the heart.—Thus is the
command of how the community shall function.
