The way we treat one another is directly linked to our status as having been born again. Once we hear the Gospel and our hearts are transformed by the Holy Spirit, we cannot help but love one another. I think this is a vital point that the church needs to continue to emphasize -- Christianity isn't simply an individual act of dedicating one's life to Christ, but an ongoing practice in which we experience the love of Christ and invest our time and energy sharing that with one another. Our hearts are purified due to Christ's sacrifice for us, therefore we are called to love one another. May we pray for Holy Spirit wisdom to pursue that this Advent season.
