Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do
good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
We are saved by faith alone. But, after we are saved, God expects us to be
filled with good works. We are not saved by works, but we are saved unto
good works. Christians should be the best neighbors and the best citizens, and
the best friends. We should be great examples for our Lord Jesus Christ. And
our verse reminds us that we should be good to everyone, but especially to our
Christian brothers and sisters. In Titus 3:8, Paul tells his young preacher
boy, Titus, that he should maintain good works. That word maintain is
interesting. We maintain our car by changing the oil and checking the tires. We
maintain our house by repairing the roof. Maintain means to keep it up, to work
on it. And that is what we should do with our Christian friends and our good
works. We should keep up our relationships and work at being a good friend. We
should do good things for our good friends in order to maintain our friendship.
There is that word maintain again. We should work at being a good Christina and
being a good friend. Remember yesterday? In order to have friends, you must be
_____. That’s right you must be a good friend. So work at being a good friend
today. Do something good for your Christian friend.
