Love is how people will know I follow Jesus.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in John 13:34-35.

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.

John 13:34-35 · BSB

Reflection

Jesus gave this command on the night He washed His disciples' feet. Not knowledge, not rules, not winning arguments: everyone will know you are His by how you love one another.

A prayer

Jesus, help me love people the way You have loved me.
