(Love Is The True Mark Of Your Christian Identity)

TO THE BIBLE:
Ephesians 4:31-32 NKJV
“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
LET’S TALK
I once witnessed two children at play. One accidentally pushed the other, and in a flash, tears filled the boy’s eyes. But before I could say a word, he smiled, reached out, and hugged his friend. No grudges, no bitterness—just love in its purest expression. How beautiful!
The Lord Jesus calls us to live this way every day—in love. He said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35 NKJV). Love is the true mark of our Christian identity. It’s not how loud we pray, nor how often we attend church, but how well we love—especially when it’s not convenient. Challenges will surely come. People may speak against you, hurt you, or mistreat you. Yet, the Master said, “…love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44 NKJV). That’s the way of victory!
Bitterness, anger, and resentment are heavy weights. They clog the wheel of progress and hinder your growth in the spirit. No matter who it is—family, colleague, neighbour, or even a stranger—never allow bitterness a place in your heart. Instead, choose the love way. Love is not just a smile or a kind word; it’s a divine force. It begins in your heart and flows into your actions. It’s seeing others the way God sees them—precious and valuable to Him. When you live this way, your life becomes an inspiration, and your impact spreads far beyond what you can imagine.
So, refuse to retaliate when insulted. Be unflustered when challenged. Like Jesus, lift your hands and say, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Let love be your response, your language, your lifestyle. For in walking in love, you walk in the fullness of God. Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER
Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 5:1-2
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
SPEAK
I choose to walk in love, just as Christ loved me and gave Himself for me. I embrace the love-way and respond with kindness; I’m quick to forgive. Thank you, Lord, for making me an expression of your love, bringing healing, joy and peace to those around me.
