“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10).
Today we have one final verse that tells us how we should behave toward others. We learned from other verses (in the last two days) how we should not take revenge on others who do wrong to us, but rather do our best to live peaceably with them. But here we are told to do something positive.
Whenever we have the chance, we are to do good to everyone, and especially to other believers. If we see someone else having a problem, it is easy to say, “Let them look after it themselves!” But you will remember the story of the good Samaritan, and how he helped the man who had been robbed and beaten up. The Lord Jesus told this story because it is a good example for us. We are to be ready to help others whenever we can, and especially other believers.
Also, when we help unbelievers, it gives us a good chance to tell them about the Lord Jesus. Many people have been saved in this way.
