They'll Know We Are. Genesis 39:1-6 NLT

Remember that old song with the lyrics " they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love, yes they will know we are Christians by our love. " 

From Wikipedia:

They'll Know We Are Christians" (also known as "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love" or "We Are One in the Spirit") is a Christian hymn written in the 1960s by then-Catholic priest, the late Fr. Peter Scholtes. It is inspired by John 13:35. The title of the hymn They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love originates in a phrase that non-believers used to describe Christians believers of early Church: "Behold, how they love one another."

Do those who see you know you're a Christian by your actions, love and speech or do you leave people wondering? Do you turn them off to the Church? "If that's what Christianity is all about......" Or do you draw people in, wanting what you have? I want to be one of the latter. 

It's interesting that Potiphar, an Egyptian, "noticed and realized that the Lord was with Joseph. " Potiphar would not have followed, believed or worshiped Joseph's God yet he couldn't deny the Lord was with Joseph, "giving him success in everything he did." 

Genesis 39:1-6 NLT

Joseph in Potiphar’s House

1 When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.

2 The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. 3 Potiphar noticed this and realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. 4 This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. 5 From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the LORD began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished. 6 So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat!
