• This brotherly love exists in mortal men, it may be mingled in its exercise with sentiments that are merely human, with individual affection, with the effect of personal attractions, or that of habit, of suitability in natural character. Nothing is sweeter than brotherly affections; their maintenance is of the highest importance in the assembly; but they may degenerate, as they may grow cool; and if love, if God, does not hold the chief place, they may displace Him—set Him aside—shut Him out. Divine love, which is the very nature of God, directs, rules and gives character to brotherly love; otherwise, it is that which pleases us—that is, our own heart—that governs us. (“2 Peter 1” by J.N. Darby)
• In one word, love is the divine nature and hence verses 5 to 7 depict the growth of the believer as culminating in love. “Charity” or love, the divine nature, is the ultimate thing. (“2 Peter 1” by F.B. Hole)
