Traits of a True Believer, Part 1 (John 13:31-38) | John MacArthur

Summary

This sermon passage from John 13-17 focuses on Jesus' final legacy to his disciples and all believers, particularly the new commandment to love one another. Key to this legacy is Jesus' transformation of the Passover into the Lord's Supper and the events leading to his crucifixion, initiated by Judas' departure. The practical takeaway is that true belief is marked not by external symbols but by internal transformation, specifically evidenced by love for one another as the defining characteristic of Christ's followers.
