A core belief of Christianity is helping other people. But how can we do that to become a better disciple of Jesus? Find out on today’s episode of Changing.
Be anxiously engaged in a good cause.
- Anxious, in this case, means excitement and eagerness for a cause.
- Engage in something bigger than yourself, like sharing the gospel, serving in the military, or even donating time or money to a charitable organization.
- Working for a cause bigger than you benefits humanity. After all, the goal isn’t to help you but to help others.
Moroni 7:47- Charity is the pure love of Christ.
- The book Preach My Gospel, a manual for people doing missionary work, words it well, reminding people to avoid judging or criticizing actions and to understand the point of view of others instead.
- It is in Matthew 22:36-39 that Jesus says the most important commandment is to love God and to love people. It’s a mandate and a commandment that we should strive to obey.
How can you help those around you?
- Minister to those you’re assigned and serve your responsibilities at church.
