How and How much to Love

In sincerity

By service to one another

Galatians 5:13  

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

Forbearing one another

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

With pure heart fervently

1 Peter 1:22  

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

As brethren

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

1 Peter 3:8  

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

Not in word but in deed

1 John 3:18  

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Without fear
