On Sunday Pastor David taught us about the 5 characteristics of the believer in Hebrews 13:1-6 - about being insiders through Christ and having a relationship with the Lord, how it looks to others, what an insider is and what they do. As insiders to Christ’s plan and works we are to love our brothers and sisters in Christ continually, that while we may not have warm and fuzzy feelings towards all of our brothers and sisters, we need to let Christ’s love show through actions. That really made me think of how words are meaningless without actions to back them up. Romans 12:9-10 says, “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
In response to the text, we ought to:
a) Help others without expecting anything in return; reciprocity is not something that Christians need to prioritize when helping others.
b) Rely on God to show you who to help and know that your reward is greater in Heaven.
