The command to “go and make disciples” has for many decades been understood to be synonymous with “go and make converts.” In other words, go out to evangelize nonbelievers and help them come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?And The King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:37-40
We should see helping our fellow brothers and sisters as helping God because they are His children. God has commissioned us to be blessings to all His children – both the lost and the found. When we choose to withhold our help, we are turning our backs on God. Make sure that your heart is set on helping those in need at all times. It is always rewarding and rewarded.
And we pray:
Dear God, I pray that I never be the person who refuses to help Your children. I desire to be a helping hand to as many people as I possibly can be. Father, may I never be stingy with assistance. There is no gain in living that way. In Jesus’ name, I beseech You and I pray. Amen.
