How would you have recognized the followers of Jesus back in the first century? You could recognize the priests and the Pharisees by the way they dressed. Likewise, you would recognize a fisherman, a peasant, or a Roman soldier by their clothes. But, again, how would you recognize a Christian?
Read John 13:35. According to Jesus, what is one special way His followers are identified? What does that mean in practical terms?
John 13:35
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
Jesus said that if we love one another, others will know that we are His disciples. How will they know? Because love in action will convince them. The love we have for Jesus and for fellow believers will determine how we respond to God
