John 17:13-21

"I am coming to You now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of My joy within them.
I have given them Your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
My prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me."

"TRUE LOVE BRINGS UNITY AMONG THE BODY, NOT DISCORD!"
"TRUE LOVE AMONGST CHRISTIANS IS THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF CHRIST' EXISTENCE TO AN UNBELIEVING WORLD!"

Jesus said:
"For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."
In other words;
"HE WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THE ADMISSION OF OTHERS!"

How about you?
What is the extent of your love for the Church?
If it is anything less than "SELF-LESS", then the world will never truly distinguish "GOD'S LOVE" through your lifestyle!
(Notice that I did not say; "How many verses you can recite!" or "How good a sermon you can preach!")
I said: "THROUGH YOUR LIFESTYLE!

"IN ORDER SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH OTHERS, WE MUST FIRST POSSESS GOD'S LOVE!"
Example:
"You can have the desire to give a hungry soul a piece of bread to eat, but if you do not have any bread to offer them, your intention may be good, but it does not feed them!"
"But if you have a bakery a your disposal, you could definitely satisfy their soul!"

"LORD, SANCTIFY US BY THE TRUTH!" "YOUR WORD IS TRUTH!"
