How May Men Know?

"By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35. To come in contact with Christ is to have His love imparted to us so that it becomes an essential part of our very being. The transformation that it produces, as manifested in the spirit of love of one brother for another, is so marked that, in the words of the Master, all men may know thereby the disciple of Christ.

The individual who has this divine love burning in his heart will not only have love for his brethren, but he will reach out for every soul that can be touched by divine grace; for all who can thus be touched will immediately become his brethren, and enter with him into the sacred joys of the Christian life. The true love of Christ in the soul is the essential motive power of every truly Christian missionary movement.
