Fulfilling the Needs of Others

Fulfilling the Needs of Others

What do the people of this world really need? To answer, we can look at the example set by the God family. We have seen that the Father knows everyone’s needs. He knows them so well that He sent Jesus Christ as a sacrifice to fulfill a need that we could never do for ourselves. In that, He set a standard for loving concern by sacrificing His life for all mankind. As His disciples now, we are to follow His example of service, by sacrificing our own lives, by removing and killing the carnal man inside us… killing sinful behavior, using the holy spirit, undergoing repentance and conversion. This is a primary method of doing the work that He calls us to do, and to be a witness to the world. This is the means by which we show our love and our service toward mankind. From there we can then further develop the characteristics that come from such outgoing love, such as compassion, which will be needed in great measure as we begin the work of healing a broken world.
