Do Good to Everyone? I Don’t Know About That

As occasion and opportunity open up to us, we are to do good towards all people. Your christian nature should demonstrate this to everyone. And when it comes to the family of believers we should do good towards them even more so. This world is constantly throwing at us everything that pertains to confusion, disruption, and temptations. Once we get our footing properly in place, our foundation under God holding steady, it becomes easier to do good on a regular basis. Of ourselves, we can’t do good because there’s nothing good in us without the Lord (Mark 10:18). The good we are to show is towards their spiritual good and advantage. Helping others with basic needs is a given, but to help them spiritually in manifesting what they physically and materially need is the goal. Helping them to be able to help themselves. To be able to receive from the Lord your needs met by simply believing Him to do it is the sign of maturity. Many things in the bible that the Lord directs us to do, is based on our maturity in Christ. You must learn addition before multiplication, or you must crawl before you can walk. You can do good to everyone, you may need to allow the growing pains to happen while you show good to all, but make yourself do it and the good you give out, will be coming back to bless you when you need it most.
