What is It To Do God's Work?

The actions of the people of God are measured by the moral actions of the law. It is how you love Christ. It is how you love God. It is how you love each other. And so Peter says this is the work of God, that you love the brethren. That would be a popular sermon in many church today-heard as -Go out and have a warm feeling about people.- And that is not actually what love is. Love is obey God's commandments in regards to other people, in regards to God Himself, in regards to Christ. This is love enacted and this is what love does under the gospel. Peter calls us to work the works of God-to love the brethren. Gird up your minds to do the work God has called you to do which is to love the brethren. And this is not the easy, worldly way some use this word. It means to obey God's law and Word concerning them.
