Monday – Gospels

Reading – Matthew 25

Highlight Verse:

”“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭37‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What’s a sure sign of a truly righteous person?

The good comes so easily that they don’t even realize they’re doing it.

I wish I was at that place.

I’m not saying that I’d be with the goats because I never have a giving attitude. I do. But it doesn’t come naturally.

But they say the more you do something, the more natural it becomes.

I have to take a moment to digress theologically.

Jesus is not saying that you are saved by doing good things for people in need. But I believe He is saying if you are truly saved, you will do good things for those in need.

For that reason, you can be easily identified by those good deeds, even if you struggle with doing them.

Do good deeds come naturally for you? How did you get to that point?
Do you struggle with them but do them since you are seeking after the heart of God? What are you doing to make those good deeds become natural for you?
