I Peter 4:7-8
Excerpted from: Serving the Brethren Through PrayerAnd above all things have fervent love for the brethren, for one another. James said to pray fervently, and here it says to love fervently. I think that is not a mistake, because there is a kind of love that God wants us to have within the church, in His Family, because it does cover a multitude of sins. The love that God gives us will be forgiving. He allows us our shortcomings. He allows us to make our mistakes. It does not hold a grudge. And instead of holding things against someone, we have the opportunity even to forgive our brothers ourselves. Praying for our brethren helps us to push past our own selfishness and actively bear one another's burdens and participate in the spiritual unity of the body of Christ.
