Proof

“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”John‬ ‭13‬:‭35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

How does our live for one another prove that we are disciples of Jesus? First we must examine the attributes of love. 1 Cor 13 states that love is patient, kind, long suffering, not envious, rude or boastful. It does not insist on its own way. It believes all things, hopes all things endures long.

This sort of love is not selfish. It puts others before itself. It is not reactionary, individualistic, it does not puff itself up or strut around saying “look at me”. Love is humble, merciful, meek and mild. Jesus was all these things.

As we yield to the Holy Spirit we show these attributes in our own lives. The world knows that this love is divine, because it does not own it, nor can it profit from it, use it or abuse it. 

As we love one another with this love we show forth the glory of God for this love is His. Let it shine! Amen!
