'The Test of Love
The Test of Love
"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35
There is a great difference between love for people whom you never saw and never shall see — and for those with whom you mingle in close relationships.
There are some people whose souls glow with compassionate affection for unknown lost people in foreign countries — yet who utterly fail to love their nearest neighbors, those who jostle against them every day in business, in the pew, in the home, and in society.
The test of Christian love, is that it does not fail even when brought into closest contact, even into friction with others.
"The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14
