And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins. – 1 Peter 4:8
During a professional basketball game, there’s no confusion as to
what players play for what team. Why? Because in professional
basketball, each player wears a jersey. That jersey has the team logo on
it. Each team member wears the same colors and logo. The jersey
identifies them and tells others which team they play for.
In the same way, as Christians we should have an identifying
characteristic. There shouldn’t be any confusion as to whether someone
is a Christian or not, it should be evident.
The Bible tells us what our identifying characteristic should be, and
it’s love. Love is what should make us different from everyone else.
Love is about seeing people and valuing them like God would. It’s
looking past what they look like and talk like. Love sees others like
Jesus sees them and chooses to say they’re important. So decide today to
love others, not in response to how they treat you, but because they
have value to God.
