“By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”-{John 13:35}
We often talk about someone “giving their testimony,” But in this verse- John 13:35, and others we see our LIVES of LOVE Is LIVING Out our Testimony! We are to continually “give our testimony” by our treatment of others, by… loving them! Denying ourselves and Preferring them, Paul put it this way, “…ourselves your servants FOR Jesus sake” -{2 Cor 4:5}. Here we have the attitude and Act we are to adopt towards others and also our Motivation,- “..For Jesus sake!”
LIVING TESTIMONIES;
Loving others is worked out in relationships. As in the “one another’s ”in Scripture. Accept one another, Bear one another’s burdens, Care for one another, and Devote yourselves to one another. Encourage one another, Forgive one another, Be Kind to one another, Love one another, Pray for one another, Serve one another, etc. “By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” -{John 13:35}. Love is the Proof we belong to Him.
We often think of Giving Our Testimony through communication with words, But we also communicate and authenticate our Testimony through loving people! have you ever thought of that? The way you treat people is by communicating a message, when you love, it communicates that you Belong to Jesus Christ, You are easily identified through your Love for others! And Jesus says in John 13:35 it TESTIFIES to OTHERS that you belong to Him!
Love Testifies To the Reality You belong to Jesus Christ!
When you are Loving Others you are Giving Your Testimony- that you belong to the LORD Jesus Christ!
GIVING AND LIVING;
A Testimony involves GIVING and LIVING. GIVING of yourself. LIVING to LOVE OTHERS… for Jesus SAKE
DAILY…
GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY BY LIVING YOUR TESTIMONY …LOVING OTHERS…FOR JESUS SAKE!
