Go About Doing Good!
By: Robert A. Searles
As Christ our Lord went about doing good, we Christians ought to be
continuing the work and ministry of our Lord by going about doing good.
Christ was in the world offering salvation to all who would believe and
receive him. He gave rest to the weary and comforted the lonely; he
healed the sick and raised the dead, and brought new hope to the
hopeless. We ought to continue doing all that God will give us the power
to do so that Christ's work and ministry might continue through us. God
may not give us the power to heal the sick or raise the dead (he could
if it was his purpose) but he has commissioned us to offer salvation to
the lost through his name and to bear one another's burdens, and to
share one another's sorrows and joys, and to make life easier for those
around us. We ought to be so secure in our own salvation and the love of
God that we can forget ourselves and concentrate on the needs of others
.
"With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing
that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of
the Lord, whether he be bond or free." Ephesians 6:7,8.
God will be no man's debtor, we cannot out give or out serve our Lord.
When we go about doing good in the service of the Lord, we will find
ourselves in a combat zone with all the forces of the devil and evil
against us. We must put on the armor and use all the defenses that God
has provided for us.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand."
Ephesians 6:10-13.
