A Real Disciple

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

There are many aspects of our faith the people believe are primary. Some think that correct doctrine is most important. Others believed that worship is the foundation of our lifestyle. Some would argued that evangelism is the key to being a disciples of Jesus. Take a poll and there will be a multitude of opinions.
  Jesus narrowly it all down to the one thing that identifies His disciples. He said that love is the main thing. We might know sound doctrine and even be able to teach it, but if people don't see us as loving, what good is our knowledge? We can follow a biblical pattern of worship that angel would admire, but if people don't know we love them, what good is it? We can proclaimed the gospel to everybody any place, town, but if they don't sense love, what results can we expect?
  Love is everything, God is love, and if we aren't expressing love to everybody we meet, we aren't expressing Him to them. Apart from love, anything we do is nothing more than dead, religious activity.
  Look around today and find somebody you can truly show the love of God. When you do that, you're  behaving like a real disciples.
