They will know you by this
Jesus said,
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34,35.
When a person looks at the church you attend. When they look at the actions of those within the church both on Sunday and during the week, do they see love?
Is there true Christian love in the church you attend?
The apostle Paul defines Christian love as,
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13.
Is this the definition of love your church congregation live by?
Is this the definition of love you live by?
Please think about it.
