God's Word Abides Forever

1 Pet. 1:22-25a

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because

"All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the LORD endures forever."

As you obey the Bible, the Holy Spirit works in you and you will be purified day by day. One of the great truths of the Bible that we must obey is to love other believers in the following three ways:
1) sincerely- not in a fake way
2) fervently- this was a kissing demonstration- ask dad or Beth
3) with a pure heart- not having ulterior motives but only
basing my love on God's agape love

A seed is a picture of being born. The seed is "incorruptible"- not capable of rotting, but lasting forever. The Word of God teaches us about Jesus and is used by the H.S. to speak to our hearts.
