*God will never overlook the brotherly love you have shown!*
`For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Hebrews 6:10`
Love must be practical, and sometimes it will be costly – By this we know the love of God: because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Says Apostle John in 1 John 3:16-18.
God will judge us at last not merely by what we have said, or intended, or taught to others, but by what we have actually done or not done. Works prove the reality of faith, and faith without works is dead. The good works of God’s children are not the cause of their being saved, but they are the evidence that they are saved.
Faith that does not produce good works, does not have good works inherent in it. Like a corpse, it is lifeless, inactive, and will soon begin to stink. Is our faith active? Is it producing fruit for God? If not, let us shudder and tremble as demons do, and let us repent and turn to God with all our hearts.
Let us come against every selfishness, self-indulgence and insecurity within us that limits us in sharing and caring with God’s holy people. Receive God’s grace to be selfless and expect the reward from Him alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
