1 Peter 1:22 - 2:3
Peter has much to say in this epistle regarding the local church, and as much as there are issues within the local body of Christ, Christians are to be identified by their love for one another. In the gospel of John 13:34-35, we find Jesus’ words regarding this love: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Francis Schaeffer points out that our Lord gives the world permission to judge the sincerity of our faith on the basis of our love for fellow Christians: “By this ALL people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” So, despite all her imperfections, we are to love the local church, the local body of believers.
