10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. ~ Galatians 6:10
Doors of opportunity are always opening and closing. We must seize the God-given moment before the chance is gone. If God has given you a blessing to give to someone else, you do not want to be caught in possession of someone else’s blessings. So, you had better give it to them.
Then it says, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. … do good … is a broad command that includes:
- Acts of kindness
- Performance of service
- Generosity
- And love
To whom? Unto all men. Christian love or charity is not exclusive, but it reaches beyond church walls and into the community that we serve. But the thing is, it must be prioritized to place your spiritual family, or the Church, first in your good works, as Paul indicated when he wrote, … especially to those who are of the household of faith …
We must understand that this is the outward expression of Spirit-led living: We sow good deeds consistently, not just inwardly or spiritually, but practically and relationally. Christian love is universal. We are called to bless all people, fellow believers first, but also to those not of the Church. Therefore, we should be a lighthouse, a model of generosity, encouragement, and service.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do Good.
