As I was reading these words from the apostle Peter, it struck me how LOVE was the last word in the list. Wow! If these are the steps for attaining God's kind of LOVE, it's obvious that true spiritual love is a complex discipline that requires a lot of commitment!
And how do we get God's kind of love? It starts with FAITH and builds from there. And since God's kind of love begins with faith, it's obvious that we really need God's help in learning what LOVE truly is.
