John 13: 35 “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
In the last 12 years my family and I have attended about 10 churches form various denominations. Some Baptist, Pentecostal, AG, Lutheran, Non-denominations charismatic, non-denominational Bible teaching, Methodist and even a Baptist church who changed their name to look more non-denominational.
Each has traditions and expression of their faith they consider unique and probably even biblical.
Know what Jesus said is the sign of His disciples? Love for one another?
A disciple is more than just an occasional attender, a one time baptized or confirmed convert. A disciple is one who patterns their life after their teacher. They commit their life to study the way and words of those they follow.
Jesus says the end product, the lifestyle of His disciples will be love.
Based on this, how are you doing as a disciple?
