God has equipped all Christians for DOING GOOD... 2 Timothy 3:16,17. Our faith in Christ is not demonstrated by just refusing to do bad, but a lack of commitment to take God at His word and respond to His commandments. Failure to do so is to sin. James 1:22 “But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves”. As children of God, we must always strive to be "doers of the Word.” If not, we sin. There is no good having faith and not putting it to work. James 2:17,26 “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead...For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also”. All of Jesus life “He went around doing good” Acts 10:38. As Christians, we must be Christ-like and go about DOING GOOD and not just avoid doing evil. Many today feel they are good simply because of an absence of bad in their lives. They are sinless in their eyes because, “I didn’t do anything wrong.” They assume they are good, simply because they have done no evil. They forget that goodness is a positive quality; not merely the absence of doing evil. 1 John 3:4 says; Sin is more than just a transgression of the law, but failure to DO the law. James 4:17 “Therefore, to him who knows to DO GOOD and does not do it, to him it is sin”. Sin is also defined as failure to do as you ought to do. For example, the one-talent man in Jesus’ parable did not do anything outwardly sinful. Yet, it is affirmed that he was “wicked” - Matthew 25:14. We must work, DO GOOD till Jesus returns. “Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when He comes. Luke 12:43. Join us, be blessed and be a blessing!
