1 John 3:17
With inflation on the rise, money is tight. And sometimes we barely have enough to take care of our own. But no matter how little we may have, there is always someone else who has less. So if we see a need of another that we can fill and choose to turn a blind eye, John says there’s no way we have the love of God inside of us. I once heard it said that it isn’t true giving unless it costs us something. Once we were destitute, dead in our iniquities, and separated from God. Yet because of His unmerited love, God gave His only Son as a substitute for our sins. And from a love for the Father and for us, Jesus gave His life to pay for those sins. So as Believers, how could we respond with anything less then the love shown to us? A love based in compassion, kindness, and mercy. And carried out in generosity, worship, and action.
