Jesus Is Insulted When We Do Not Love One Another ㅡ

 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” (John 13:34)

These words are not the words of man, but the words of our Redeemer; and how important it is that we fulfill the instruction that He has given!

There is nothing that can so weaken the influence of the church, as the lack of love.

How careful we should be, that our words and actions are all in harmony with the sacred truth that God has committed to us!

The people of the world are looking to us, to see what our faith is doing for our characters and lives.

They are watching to see if it is having a sanctifying effect on our hearts, if we are becoming changed into the likeness of Christ.

They are ready to discover every defect in our lives, every inconsistency in our actions.

Let us give them no occasion to reproach our faith.

It is not the opposition of the world that will most endanger us; it is the evil cherished right in our midst that works our most grievous disaster.

It is the unconsecrated lives of half-hearted professors that retard the work of the truth, and bring darkness upon the church of God.
