When you open the New Testament and ask the question, "What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus...?", it's crystal clear. If you don't 'get' anything else, here's the thing that should describe you, here's the thing that should characterize you 'more than anything else', here's what He said to His closest followers before he left the earth - "By *this* everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
It's not the gold cross hangin' on your neck, it's not goin' to church on Sunday morning, it's not your church bumper sticker, it's not what kind of family you were born into or raised in, it's not that you were baptized, it's not your self-professed 'Christianity', it's not the disdain that you have for certain people, and it's certainly not policing other people's behavior.
When people used the words of God to hurt people bearing the image of God, Jesus was quick to remind them that they were on the wrong side of God. Everybody is somebody that God loves. Everybody is somebody for whom Jesus died.
