THE REAL CHRISTIAN AND RELATIONSHIPS

"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John  13:35

Why Does A Love For People Identify Us As Disciples Of Christ?

A. Jesus Is The Source Of Love.

"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (John 17:20-26)

B. Jesus Is The Model Of Love.

"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. " (John 15:12-13)

C. Jesus Is The Motivation To Love.
