Peter's letter to the persecuted church in Asia Minor continues with an important note on love and the power that goes with it. Love (genuine, authentic, self-sacrificial) will be a distinctive mark between you and other people. When Christ came, love became so much more than was perviously known or acted on. It became a revolutionary power that drew people to Him. Because of Christ, we have the ability to love people in a profound new way that hasn't been and cannot be done without Him. When you have Christ and love people, they will notice that there is something different about you. It is also profound to consider that the architect of love will also be your judge.
