(1Ti 4:12) “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” Jesus told us one of the vital proofs of genuine salvation is the love we have for fellow believers: (Joh 13:35) “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” That is because this love is not the flawed love of an unregenerated soul, but of the born again spirit, evidenced by the Holy Spirit living and thus loving through us: (1Jn 4:12) “No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. (13) Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.”
