In our study of I Peter we have reached verse 22 and the last section of that verse says “through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.” (I Peter 1:22c)
Wow, what a statement!
KEY: There is no greater force on earth than love.
If two people truly love each other they will do anything for the other. There is no greater bond on earth than true love. This is especially true of the love between believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
However, I want to back up for just a minute and connect the subject of love of God then to mothers. Listen to, Isaiah 66:13, as God describes His love for us. To help us understand Him, He says look at the love a mother has for her children, her family. “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 66:13) When we truly understand Biblical love it is a “comforting love.” Without argument that is the kind of love, God has for His children.
As God says to love each other fervently, He is talking about what the Greek calls “Philadelphia love”, a very special kind of love. A mother’s love for her family is really “Philadelphia love” because that is how God loves you and I as believers.
The word fervently in I Peter 1:22 says that believers should love with full intensity. It literally means TO STRETCH LOVE FULLY OUT OR TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER IN AN ALL OUT MANNER. Surely that is how God loves us and he says that a mother’s love is much like His.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3: 5-6) Both Mom and God are similar in a lot of ways:
What mother has to say is listened to as she is the first teacher of her children. Men today tend to ignore Deuteronomy 6 and what it admonishes men to teach their families. However, what I see in 40+ years of ministry in churches, it is a mother’s love that drives the teaching in families, not Dad.
When discouraged, it’s mother who inspires and encourages.When disobedient, it’s mother who corrects.When doubtful, it’s mother who says, “You can do it.”Children’s lives are kept straight by mother’s wisdom and authority.
Like Mom, God also has words for us: When discouraged, when disobedient, when afraid and doubting. God says to bring “All our cares to Him.” I Peter 5:17 When growing up Mom was always there for us.
As we grew older we also found that God is with us, no matter where we are or under what circumstances we find ourselves. Ephesians 1: 13-14. Yep, mothers are a little like God!
4. Children are always in mother’s eyes, no matter how old they are. My wife says that she raised a total of three boys even though we only had two by birth.
