Justice, Love, and Kindness
The Prophet Micah said,
“He (God) has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8.
This is for many people hard to do. It’s very easy to see the wrong someone does. Many people who call themselves Christians are quick to point out the sin someone is committing.
This is not what God wants of all those who call themselves Christian. Of those who claim to be true followers of Christ Jesus.
Yes it’s true the apostle Paul said,
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," Romans 3:23.
But you’re not going to win a soul to Christ if you don’t first show justice, love, and kindness to those around you.
When a person sees you love them and do not judge them. It is they will listen to you and the Holy Spirit can work in their lives.
The late evangelist Billy Graham once said,
“It is the Holy Spirits Job to Convict,
God's job to judge
and my job to love,”
Billy Graham.
If a person is honest with themselves they will know they are not perfect. They know more than anyone else the mistakes they make. They know they sin Not only that many people hang on and quite often brood over their mistakes.
As Christians it is our job to show Gods love to them and remind them of what the apostle John said,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."1John 1:9.
If you consider yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus are you doing this?
Please think about it.
