If You Know Someone In Need

If You Know Someone In Need
Author: Mark V. Markov

Christ loved us
He gave His life for us
Heavenly Father loved us
He gave up His only Begotten Son for us,
And raised Him on the third day.

To love someone
Requires action
Not just empty words
For words without action
Are just empty words

If you know someone in need
And walk away
Without at least offering to help
Do you really think
That you love that person?

If you know someone in need
And walk away
Without at least offering to help
Do you really think
That you have love?

And we are taught to love others
By Jesus Christ
When people say I love you
But I don't like you
That is the most bizarre statement
A believer can make.

Because if you don't like someone
Then you will not help that person in any way
And if you don't show through action
That you love someone
Then you don't really love

So you are breaking
The second commandment of Christ
And therefore also breaking the first
For if you loved God,
Then you would also love others as yourself.
