Wants one to help the other

 Wants one to help the other

The apostle John writes,

"This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.... 

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1John 3:11,17,18.

The Bible is full of admonitions to the believer to help those in need. 

Now while the Talmud is not a Christian book. It states something that is in line with scripture. It states,

“Rabbi Akiba was asked by a Roman general, "Why does your God who loves the needy not provide for their support Himself?"  He answered, "God the Father of both the rich and poor, wants the one to help the other so as to make the world a household of love." The Talmud.

Are you making the world around you a household of Love?

Please think about it.

The book of acts tells of this incident between Paul and his jailor. What he said is as relevant today as it was then. The book of acts states,
“The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.  
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Acts 16:30,31.
The apostle Paul writes,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9.
We Christians believe it is our faith in the saving grace of Christ Jesus that saves us. The writer of Hebrews stating,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and certain of what we do not see.”  

                                             Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, 

because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists

 and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                               Hebrews 11:6

To me this is obvious. You must first believe there is a God. If you don’t believe he exists you wont even be looking for him.
I believe also there is another reason we must have faith there is a God. A reason why an almighty God will not simply show Himself in a miraculous way.
Someone who believes in anything. Who has faith in anything especially if they can’t physically see it. These people are the strongest believers. People who will go to their deaths for what they believe in.
Do you believe in God?
Please think about it.
