Express divinity.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
1 John 4:7-8

Love is the behavioural expression of the divine nature. Walking in love is proof that you are genuinely born again. If you want to know someone that is sincerely and authentically born again, it is through the love walk.

The Bible says in Romans 5:5b, “…the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Therefore, anyone who professes to be a Christian and yet cannot love others, their salvation is in doubt.

Jesus said in John 13:34-35, “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” This means that if you claim to be born again, the outward sign is your love walk. Anyone can claim to be born again, but Jesus is letting us know that the way we treat others will be a sign to the world that we are born again. Therefore, examine yourself. If we should use your love walk to determine if you are saved, will you pass the test? If you have difficulty answering that question and you are a Christian, it means you have to grow up spiritually. Begin to truly live for Christ and let His character be expressed through you as you learn to express His love and compassion to a dying world. The world needs you. Be God's agent of life and love to your world.
