Greetings,
Some people believe we identify a believer by the way they dress. Others think it’s the way they pray. Still others, it’s how they talk. While believers should always live in a manner that would exalt Christ, notice the characteristics that He said would exemplify a true believer:
John 13:35 (NKJV) – “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
The identifying mark was not apathy, tolerance, indifference or mere curiosity—but love. His disciples will love one another, regardless of their education, status, ethnicity, political affiliation, wealth, or nationality. If you’re a child of God, you’re automatically my brother or sister in Christ.
Father, I know it must grieve Your heart when there is so much division among Your people. Help us remember that we are supposed to love each other in the same way that You love us. Fill our hearts with love—not indifference, resentment, or hate.
Today, I’m worshiping with Vicki Yohe and “So Many Reasons.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
