Do good

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. - Galatians 6:10

Therefore, in the light of what we have seen over the last few days there is only one thing to do - do good. Do good to all. Especially do good to and for each other. 

The term ‘do gooder’ has almost become a term of mockery or scorn. I have to say I don’t understand that. How can doing good be something to be mocked?

With all the theology and all this teaching about works and the Law and man-made requirements and grace and all that comes down to this instruction – ‘do good.’ 

When Paul wrote to the Ephesian church he made it clear that God ordained before the foundation of the world that those who have been saved by grace through faith have not be saved my good works, but they are ordained to do good works as Christians. 

Sure, it says here 'especially those who are of the household of faith' but it starts with 'use every opportunity you get to do good to all men.'

I wonder how many of us are known as 'do gooders' who see every opportunity to do good to others. I wonder what a difference we could make if we did?
