Who We Are

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

We all must have some type of identifying information with us. When we drive it must be a valid operators license for the state we come from. If we want to cross the border into another country, we have to have an up to date passport. Want to open a bank account, apply for a credit card, go to a doctor or hospital? Need identification relevant to what you are applying to.

It is hard to imagine in this culture that you do not have to have a card or a mark on you to prove you are a disciple of Christ. "The proof is in the pudding". That is to say, our actions tell others who we are. When we have Christ in us and we are in Christ it shows.

When we are with another believer, our love one to another is evident. And even when we are with non-believers our nonjudgmental actions and the love of Christ we display lets them know we are different. We are disciples of Jesus Christ.
