Live and Teach Good Works
Live a life of morality, doing good works whenever possible. Helping your fellow man. God's love is given to us to share with others. Just attending church once a week is not true Christian living. Attending church is very important. I am not saying that it isn't. But we are instructed to be more like Jesus. I believe that Jesus spent most of His time with the non believers sharing the word of God to them. We all are not meant to do one thing it is designed for the responsibilities to be shared with all believers. It must start in ones own life before it can be transferred to others. Live a life of integrity and honesty loving each other wishing harm to no one. Paul wrote to Titus below instructing him.
Titus 3:1-11
1: Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2: To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3: For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4: But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6: Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7: That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8: This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9: But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10: A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11: Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
