This is related to a post I had earlier called "pass the love"... I wonder if today's church understand the evangelistic power we possess when we "love one another". Christian community has persuasive power. So many individuals out there are not necessarily looking for God, but they are more than willing to join and participate in a community of love. That's my own testimony, the community that loved me as a 7th grader led me to the God who loves me. The love of believers in the fellowship of the gospel is a powerful testimony that should not be underestimated...
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
John 13:35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 17:21 that they may all be one, just 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 have sent me.
John 17:22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, tthat they may be one even as we are one,
John 17:23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
