The Birthmark of Love
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★MOST people have birthmarks that are specific to them, whether moles or other kinds of unique identification marks. Designers are known by their trademarks. They have logos of various kinds that even if you don’t read the name, it becomes clear who made it. God likewise has established a mark, a very clear mark, by which His children who have been birthed by the Spirit ought to be known. Love is the birthmark of the Christian. Without the birthmark of love, other people really don’t know who you are.
The point
Just as birthmarks identify a person and designers mark their work with logos, love is the distinctive birthmark by which God's children are known.
