In the early Christian church, the "kiss of love" was a common greeting among believers, symbolizing unity, fellowship, and mutual affection. This practice is rooted in the cultural customs of the time, where a kiss was a sign of respect and friendship. The "kiss of love" is mentioned in other New Testament passages, such as <a href="/romans/16-16.htm">Romans 16:16</a> and <a href="/1_corinthians/16-20.htm">1 Corinthians 16:20</a>, indicating its widespread acceptance among early Christians. It served as a physical expression of the spiritual bond shared by those in the faith, transcending social and ethnic barriers. This greeting reflects the deep sense of community and love that characterized the early church, as believers were called to demonstrate Christ's love to one another.Peace to all of you who are in Christ. The concept of "peace" in this context goes beyond the absence of conflict; it encompasses a sense of wholeness, well-being, and spiritual tranquility that comes from being in a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This peace is a fulfillment of Jesus' promise in <a href="/john/14-27.htm">John 14:27</a>, where He assures His followers of a peace that the world cannot give. The phrase "in Christ" signifies the believers' union with Jesus, highlighting their identity and security in Him. This peace is a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>) and is available to all who have accepted Christ as their Savior. The blessing of peace is a common benediction in the New Testament, underscoring its importance in the life of a believer and the community of faith.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a> The apostle and author of the epistle, writing to encourage and instruct believers. 2. <a href="/topical/r/recipients_of_the_epistle.htm">Recipients of the Epistle</a> Early Christians scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, facing persecution and trials. 3. <a href="/topical/c/christ.htm">Christ</a> Central figure in the epistle, representing the source of peace and unity among believers. 4. <a href="/topical/e/early_christian_communities.htm">Early Christian Communities</a> The context in which the practice of greeting with a "kiss of love" was a cultural expression of fellowship and unity. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_kiss_of_love.htm">The Kiss of Love</a> A cultural practice in the early church symbolizing brotherly love and unity among believers.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/e/expression_of_christian_love.htm">Expression of Christian Love</a> The "kiss of love" is a cultural expression of the deep, familial love that should characterize Christian relationships. While cultural expressions may change, the underlying principle of genuine love and affection remains timeless. <a href="/topical/u/unity_in_christ.htm">Unity in Christ</a> The greeting signifies the unity and equality of all believers in Christ, transcending cultural and social barriers. This unity is a powerful testimony to the world of the transformative power of the Gospel. <a href="/topical/p/peace_as_a_gift_from_christ.htm">Peace as a Gift from Christ</a> The peace Peter speaks of is a profound, spiritual peace that comes from being in Christ. It is a peace that sustains believers through trials and unites them in purpose and mission. <a href="/topical/c/cultural_context_and_modern_application.htm">Cultural Context and Modern Application</a> While the specific practice of greeting with a kiss may not be common in all cultures today, the principle of warmly and sincerely greeting fellow believers is universally applicable. Modern equivalents might include a handshake, hug, or verbal greeting. <a href="/topical/l/living_out_the_gospel.htm">Living Out the Gospel</a> The call to greet one another with love and to live in peace is a practical outworking of the Gospel.
