The Bible says we are to love one another. Sometimes it's hard enough to love our own family. How do we make love a dominating characteristic of our lives? Jesus gave love priority over all other Christian virtues. Every thought, response, and act of goodwill must first pass through the fine filter of love, or it means nothing at all. When we love one another, it distinguishes believers from the rest of the world. The measure of our maturity is our love for God and our love for others. If we fail in our love we have missed what it means to be a Christian.
