2 PETER 1:7
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. [KJV]

The Holy Spirit - speaking through Apostle Peter gave seven attributes that will establish our walk with Christ and make us infallible. He said in 2 Peter 2:10 '... If ye do these things, ye shall never fall.' 'These things' we have called 'Faith Supplements' and today we shall look at the last two; Brotherly Kindness and Charity.
Brotherly Kindness: This is the love expressed among members of the same family. The Church is the family of God because we are the brethren of Christ- He being the 'First Begotten'. (Heb.1:6, Rev. 1:5). Therefore God expects us to love the fellow believers as brothers indeed. The Lord Jesus told His disciples 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.' (John 13:35). Apostle Paul also said in Gal. 6:10 '... let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith'. This rendition (NLT) of 1 John 4:21 puts it straight '... those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.'
Charity: This means love; the God kind of love. This is the love that you have even for your enemies. Mat. 5:45 (NLT) says 'In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For He gives His sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.' This kind of Love is the seal of perfection on our Faith for with love you have fulfilled all the laws of God. (Mat. 5:48, Rom. 13:8,10).
Go into today with God's love in your heart. Help a brother or a sister.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill my heart with love divine today and always. Amen.
