What is the one universal characteristic of a true Christian? Is it belief? We read in James that "the demons believe and tremble", yet they part of Satan's ongoing rebellion against God, His people, and His plan. Is it what church they go to or what specific good works they do? No, those aren't the primary attribute. While He was on earth, Jesus said these words: "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35).
This message is going to dig into that statement; what it means, what it looks like, and how we address any lack we have in this area. Maybe one of the first questions we will have to ask is, do we really have the love of Christ in us? Are we truly one of His?
