SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speaks to you)
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (Galatians 6:10 NIV)
OBSERVATION:
This verse is at the end of a passage that not only talks about doing good in all things but the importance of holding each other accountable. Actions matter and we are to watch our own actions and correct the actions of others.
APPLICATION:
Our modern culture seems to still see the importance of “good” actions. But good actions often come with a “what is in it for me” mentality. This is not what the passage is calling for, the ends of good actions is so that grace might abound for all.
Our modern culture also does not seem to hold corporate accountability in high regards. It seems even personal accountability only comes into conversation when there is a public malfeasance. Christians are called to a higher accountability. We are called to watch over each other and in love correct with others stray.
PRAYER
Lord thank you for my friends and family and faith. May we also hold each other accountable to your love so that love might continually grow.
YES:
I will ask others to hold me accountable and do the same for others.
