By
this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” – John 13:35
(NIV)
How do you know that a car is a car?
There are certain characteristics about a car that make it unique. These are
the things that help you recognize a car. For example, you notice that it has
four wheels, side mirrors, windows or an engine. These things make a car
different than a horse, or a house.
How you know a car is a car is a lot
like what today’s Bible verse is talking about. There are certain things that
make a Christian a Christian. One of those things is love. As Christians, we
should be loving each other, not tearing others down. Love is a characteristic
that should define Christians.
Love shows up in many areas of our
lives. How do we treat our mom? What do we do about the old lady down the
street that needs help bringing in her groceries? These things are all examples
of showing love to others. Love should be a trademark for Christians.
Examine your life today. Are you
letting God’s love shine through you? Are you open and ready for opportunities
to love others? If you’re not, simply make any necessary adjustments in your
life and let God’s love flow through you to those around you.
