“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35)
There are numerous evidences one might give to support his claim that he is a Christian, a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. One might say that he gives sacrificially to his church. Another might claim that he is a devoted student of the Bible. Perhaps some would say they have not missed a worship service in twenty years.
The Bible states in First Corinthians thirteen that, “Now abideth faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love.” Sacrificial activity and a host of other things mentioned in that chapter are worthless without love.
It was the Jewish historian Josephus that commented about the first century Christians exclaiming, “How they loved one another.” Do you love fellow believers?
