Love as a Mark of the Church

John 17:24-26 – Love as a Mark of the Church 

The phrase “one another” is used about times in the New Testament. 

Love summarizes all of the i for the church that we have seen in this prayer in John 17. 

The Christian’s in Christ (union with Christ) has a great bearing on how we with others.

John 17:23

“…even AS you loved me…” the word “as” here means as or to the same degree.

Not only will we sit and gaze at the glory of Christ, but we will n that Glory (1 John 3:2)

If Christ’s love for us is limitless — what does that mean for our with one another? 

The fact that Christians on many different things yet are to love and care for one another is a marvelous display of the of the gospel in the of Christians.
