Romans 5:8
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus did not weigh the likelihood of our response before offering us grace—He loved us while we were still sinners. In the same way, we are called to extend mercy without hesitation or calculation, not letting fear, reputation, or self-interest hold us back. The most Christlike thing you can do is to help someone in need simply because they are in need, trusting that God is glorified in your obedience. Let the kindness and mercy you have received from Christ overflow into your actions, making you a vessel of His love in a world desperate for it.
Application:
Think of a time when you hesitated to help someone because you were worried about being taken advantage of or misunderstood—how does remembering Christ’s unconditional grace change your perspective?
