Love In Action

June 6th – 1 John 3:18

1 John 3:18

Did you know that love isn’t something we feel, but rather something we do. That’s why we are called to love not just with words or speech, but with actions and in truth. This means actively seeking ways to demonstrate our love in tangible, meaningful ways. We can start by offering our time and resources to those in need. Or performing simple acts of kindness, like helping a neighbor with groceries or offering a listening ear to a friend. Encouraging and supporting others in their struggles shows that our love is faithful and true. Being present and fully engaged with those around us, giving our undivided attention, also reflects love in action. We can also advocate for justice, standing up for those who are marginalized or oppressed, ensuring that our love seeks fairness and righteousness. Praying for others, not just in private but also together with them, brings spiritual support and solidarity. By acting in ways that reflect God’s love, we fulfill the command to love in deed and truth, making our faith visible through our actions.

February 11th – 2 Corinthians 8:7

2 Corinthians 8:7

Love isn’t only something we feel, love is also something we do. It isn’t enough just to have a desire to help others. Out of the abundant grace given to us through Jesus, we need to put that love into action. Not only to glorify God, but also as proof of our sincerity for the Lord. (2 Cor. 8:8) There is no greater example of love in action than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Willingly, out of His great love, He left behind the treasures, power, and majesty of heaven. And because of His sacrifice on the Cross, giving His life for ours, we as Christians are now heirs to His great kingdom. One day very soon our Savior will return to take us to that kingdom where we will dwell and reign with Him forever! Yet right up until the minute we hear Him call us home, we are to put our love in action. Demonstrating to a lost and hurting world the great love shown to us. And abounding in the most excellent grace of giving.
