(TEXT : Galatians 6:10)
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
FOCUS :
As children of God we are expected to be good towards one another, specifically to those who are in the household of Faith. Our labour of love goes a long way in other people’s lives and we will reap our reward if we faile not in doing good. Many believers don’t know that every services or sacrifices that we tender or render to others build a strong bridge between our hearts and God. If you desire to do good as fellow believer in the household of Faith, you are strengthening the hands of God towards others, and God will keep on multiplying you on every sides for your good deeds.
Romans 12:12-21 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
In addition, as believers we are not to be paying “evil for good or good for evil”; rather we are expected to be showing some level of kindness on a daily basis towards others. Yes, there are many people around us who deliberately and who their intentions are always evil, even sometimes towards us; but we must chose good over evil. Even though we are made from good but living in an evil world with evil people every single steps of the way; we are not of this “evil world.” So when next people treat you like trash, still maintain your “good character, behavior and attitude towards them.”
Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Proverbs 17:13
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
1 Thessalonians 5:15
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Finally, doing good to others will cost you nothing, but doing evil as believers will cost you many evil. Simply because you are not made from evil, and that is why you are not for evil, and which is why you should never engage or practice evil. Doing good towards others, it is about your mindset and practicing evil it is also from your mindset. Therefore, watch and pray always for you to have good mindset towards others, so that you can be good to them willingly without immoral motives. Every single good that comes out of your heart towards others, goes a long way and make many significant impact even to the next generation to come. Let remember this, we are not doing good to others because we just feel like doing it: we do good to others because “WE ARE MADE OF GOOD FROM GOD.”
Luke 6:43-45 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
