John 16, 17

John 17:20-23 teaches that our lives should display God’s love and unity, reflecting Christ to the world. Just as a catalog showcases products, we are to showcase the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and more—so others can see God’s character in us. Live in a way that draws others to the hope found in Jesus.
