"By this shall all men know that you're my disciples when you have love for one another." (John 13:35)
People aren't going to know we're His disciples by how many times we come to church or how many scriptures we can quote. People will know we're His disciples by the love we show one another. The enemy tries to bring division throughout the Body of Christ by keeping us focused on our differences. When we're critical and judgmental, we build walls that separate us. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:13, "We need to come together in the unity of faith." There's great power in unity! We can do a whole lot more together, as born-again believers, than we can do apart. Let's decide to lay down our differences and come together in the unity of our faith in Jesus Christ.
A Prayer for Today
God, I will allow the love of Christ to flow through me and show love to others in thought, word, and deed. Not only because it honors You, but because I am Your disciple to the world. When I am tempted to find fault with people, I will remember that you look on me with love, despite my sin. In Jesus' Name – Amen.
