By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
— John 13:35
"The world in which we live would benefit greatly if men and women everywhere would exercise the pure love of Christ, which is kind, meek, and lowly," said President Howard W. Hunter while serving as president of the Quorum of the Twelve during April 1992 general conference. "It is without envy or pride. It is selfless because it seeks nothing in return. It does not countenance evil or ill will, nor rejoice in iniquity; it has no place for bigotry, hatred, or violence. It refuses to condone ridicule, vulgarity, abuse, or ostracism. It encourages diverse people to live together in Christian love regardless of religious belief, race, nationality, financial standing, education, or culture.
"The Savior has commanded us to love one another as He has loved us; to clothe ourselves 'with the bond of charity' (D&C 88:125), as He so clothed Himself. We are called upon to purify our inner feelings, to change our hearts, to make our outward actions and appearance conform to what we say we believe and feel inside. We are to be true disciples of Christ."
