LOVE IN ACTION
Suppose a brother or sister has no clothes or food. Suppose one of you says to them, "Go. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well." And you do nothing about what they really need. Then what good have you done? It is the same with faith. If it doesn't cause us to do something, it's dead. But someone will say, "You have faith. I do good works. "Show me your faith that doesn't do good works. And I will show you my faith by what I do. (James 2:15-18 NIRV) When Jesus began his three year ministry his love for others was set in motion. He was the ultimate “love mover” and is still leading the love movement till this day! What did Jesus do in the name of love? You can read about it in greater detail in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John of the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, prayed for and encouraged others to believe, and ultimately paid the ransom for the sins of this world by dying on the cross; giving sinners a chance at eternal life in heaven. Now that you know this, look around you! There's a world full of lost and and hurting people. Whether they are hurting physically, spiritually or both you can show them God's love. Jesus Christ has set the example; now go!
