St. John Core Scriptures
John 13:34-35 “I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you. If you love each other, everyone will know that you are My disciples.”
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Philippians 3:7-8a “Christ has shown me that what I once thought was valuable is worthless. Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”
