What does a real Christian look like? How does a genuine Christian act?In this devotional commentary, Floyd Gary Pierce helps you to understand and live out Jesus' call to love God and neighbor.And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-39, ESV.)Jesus' words in Matthew give Christians a command to love God and neighbor. The problem is that many Christians aren't doing this well or consistently.Jesus commands you to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. "Marked by Love" outlines spiritual practices to express your love for God and highlights the importance of loving God while also emphasizing loving groups of neighbors: lost neighbors in the community and your fellow Christian neighbors in your church.This book is adapted from a preaching series first delivered to White Plains Baptist Church in Scottsville, Kentucky.
