Loving one another is a command by Jesus that we must obey if others are to see Jesus in us. When we love one another as Jesus loves us, those around us will know that we are followers of Jesus Christ.  Hanging out with other followers of Jesus was a common thread in the New Testament church.  Isolation and seclusion among followers of Jesus is not found in the Bible.  The community seen among first century followers of Jesus demonstrates their bond of love, their common purpose and the devotion that true followers of Jesus should have to one another due to their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
