The Witness of Love

If someone had never met you and knew little about you, would they know you were a Christian? How could someone else tell if you were a follower of Jesus? They might know you are a Christian because of the stickers on your card or the t-shirt you wear. Some might know because you attend church and carry a Bible. People may consider you a Christian by the scripture you can quote or your ability to carry on a theological conversation. Jesus said to his disciples that they would be known as his followers by how they loved one another

(John 13:31-35). With Jesus’ words, does this mean that love is our witness?

You have likely heard the expression, “If you were arrested for your faith in Jesus and brought to trial, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” If this were the case, I hope that many of us would be convicted based

on how we loved.

In the love of Christ,
