How do people know that we are followers of Christ? What makes the biggest impression on people? Jesus made it clear what will make the difference. He didn’t say that when they see our vast amount of Bible knowledge they would know that we are His followers. He didn’t say when they see our marvellous church facilities with gyms, family centres, and coffee shops. He didn’t say when they heard our conservative/contemporary/modern music styles they would know. He didn’t say when they saw our strict sets of rules orour expressions of liberty from rules they would know.
What then is the evidence? Jesus made it simple – when they see the love that you have for each other. I wonder what people see when they see our lives. Love is the one thing that we can offer and that we can practice that no one can argue with. According to Jesus’ standard do people really know that we are His disciples?
