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

In one of Paul’s first letters, he begged his Christian family in Galatia not to compare their salvation to that of others. Because in doing so, they had grown tired and burdened. Paul told them instead to concentrate on the good that they could do. It was here he mentioned the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control).

Having a relationship with Christ means living as Christ would live. While Christ may have died, he spent all of his time up to that point “doing good” (Acts 10:38). This year we want to spend our time doing no less. Before we can tell our community about Christ, we have to show them who Christ is. They will never believe us, if they don’t see it in our lives. Below are some opportunities for us to take our lives of prayer, knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding and for us to “do good” to others.

Here are some of our expressions of benevolence:
