Love One Another

John 13:34. A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another, show deep love for each other for love. Make up for many of your faults. Let us stop just saying we love people. Let us really love them and show it by our actions. Let us outdo each other in being helpful and kind to each other in doing good.

Don’t think only of yourself, try to think of the other fellow too, and what is best for him or her. We must bear the burden of being considerate of the doubts and fear of others. Let’s please the other fellow, not ourselves.

Serve each other with humble spirits for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many. Take time to give. It is too short of a day to be selfish.

If you are really eager to give, then it isn’t important how much you have to give. God wants you to give what you have, not what you haven’t. If you have a friend who is in need of food and clothing and say to him, Well, goodbye and God bless you. Stay warm and eat hearty, and then don’t give him clothes or food, what good does that do? If you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much. Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don’t force anyone to give more than he or she really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes. Be full of love for others following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as sacrifice to take away your sins. Your father in heaven gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust too. For he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are very wicked.

What is the use of saying that you have faith and are Christians if you aren’t proving it by helping others, will that kind of faith save anyone? It isn’t enough just to have faith. You must also do good to prove that you have faith. Faith doesn’t show itself by good works is no faith at all. It is dead and useless. So you see, a man or woman is saved by what he or she does as well as by what he or she believes.

Just as the body is dead when there is no spirit in it, so faith is dead if it is not the kind that result in good deeds. Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it.

How can you claim that you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, the lord of glory if you show favoritism to rich people and look down on poor people? God has chosen poor people to be rich in faith and
