Marks of the True Christian

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is
good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo 
one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal,
be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be 
patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to
the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless 
those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice
with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live
in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but
associate with the lowly. Never be conceited. Repay no
one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable
in the sight of all. If possible, so far it depends on you,
live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves,
but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengence
is mine, I will repay says the Lord."  To the contrary if your
enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something
to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his
head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
good.
Romans 12:9-21
God help me to live these verses. I want Your love and truth in my life.
Take all that is wrong and dishonoring in Your sight! Make me into
something beautiful and honoring to You! I love You Lord!
