We must be Christians in both word and deed, this is how we will express the love...the grace of God. Acts of service are those practices that draw us closer to one another through the presence of the Spirit. Jesus told His disciples that His followers would be recognized for how they loved and served one another. Scholars have noted about John Wesley and the Methodists that, “It was not so much that the Methodists were among the poor as the poor were among the Methodists.” In other words, a shared life together which crosses economic, social, or ethnic boundaries and calls people to inward and outward expressions of holy love is the calling of the Christian life.
