FAITH CAPSULE:\u00a0<\/strong>To be concerned is from the heart, but to care is by action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 10:25-37<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is good, and whatever is good is of God.\u00a0
Is it in you to know to do good when a need calls for doing good?\u00a0
Jesus identified what it means to be a good one in the parable of the Good Samaritan.\u00a0
In the parable, a stranger from Samaritan saw another stranger from Jerusalem who fell among the thieves, was wounded, and stripped off his clothing.\u00a0
The Samaritan could not walk away from doing good like others before him did not do good but walked away, not engaging the stranger from Jerusalem.
The Samaritan spent his resources to do good for the stranger from Jerusalem as he received proper medical attention.\u00a0
Jesus, the compassionate savior, referred to the doing good of the Samaritan:\u00a0\u201cBut a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.\u201d (Luke 10:33)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Doing good is having compassion.\u00a0
Compassion is the heart of Jesus.\u00a0
It is good to be doing good as a way of life.\u00a0
James 4:17\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>encourages,\u00a0\u201cTherefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Knowing to do good as a way of life cannot be emphasized enough.\u00a0
Think about this: if knowing to do good and not do it is a sin, then knowing to do good and doing it must be a blessing.\u00a0
Galatians 5:22\u00a0<\/strong>states d<\/em>oing good is among the fruit of the spirit,\u00a0\u201cBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
Many scriptural passages emphasize the importance of doing good.\u00a0Romans 12:9, \u201c\u2026Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.\u201d 1 Thessalonians 5:15, \u201cSee that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
2 Thessalonians 3:13, \u201cBut as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
Hebrews 13:16, \u201cBut do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
As an acclaimed believer, become one that consciously allows your concern for doing good to be alive.\u00a0
Let your caring to do what is good be activated.\u00a0
Show concern for doing good and be care active.\u00a0
To be concerned is from the heart, but to care is by action.\u00a0
Are you doing good where doing good calls for need?\u00a0
Go ahead and act with care, knowing fully well that what you are doing is in the name of God and for the glory of God.\u00a0
One that cares for the needy and giving care is evidence of doing good that counts before God.
To be concerned for others with all care is doing good and heaven acknowledgeable, provoking the blessing of God.\u00a0
Gain the understanding that doing good glorifies God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
