The Mark of a Christian Rom 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love (Agape) one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:9-10 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Matt 22:37-40 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." I show love through my sacrifice? Gal 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Luke 10:36-37 The Good Samaritan "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." 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 (Ean- Particle of Conditionality, indefinateness, uncertainty) you love one another." (John 13:33-35) I show love through obedience 11And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. I show love through unity Phil 2:1-4 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Philippians 2 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Galatians 6:10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Acts 2:44-47 All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had needÉThey broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts É And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. 1 Thess 5:1-11 Éthe day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 1 Peter 4:7-11 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
