1127: Living in and out of Love // Jesus in Every Area of Life 11 (Nathan Johnson)
One of the defining attributes of Christians is to be love—but not a love like the world based on emotion, circumstance, or preference.

Are you a genuine Christian or are you faking it? While Paul tells us we are to imitate Christ (Ephesians 5:1), the reality of his message is that without Christ it is impossible to imitate Christ—or said another way, the secret to imitation is impartation.
