Text: \u00a0Matthew 22: 37-39; John 13:34-35<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDo not waste your time bothering whether you \u2018love\u2019 your neighbor: Act as if you did.\u201d \u00a0C.S.Lewis<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cBy this all people will know you are my disciples if you have love for one another.\u201d Jn.13:35<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I.\u00a0\u00a0 A MORE EXCELLENT WAY \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWhen we are wrapped up in ourselves we make a pretty small package.\u201d<\/p>\n

Words mean (nothing<\/strong><\/span>) if there is no (action<\/strong><\/span>). Having a (powerful faith<\/strong><\/span>) is nothing if it does not motivate us (to love<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will never care how much you know, until they know how much you care.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0 HOW CAN THEY KNOW? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Romans 10: 17: \u201cFaith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChristianity is enshrined in the life, but it is proclaimed by the lips.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unless we speak up some people may never know about the hope we have within us.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.\u201d I Peter 3:16 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

By living out the Gospel, we gain (credibility<\/strong><\/span>). By verbalizing the Gospel, we provide (clarity<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n
