"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."- Matthew 5:16
God is righteous, He is full of goodness because He is the light Himself.
Jesus Christ is the way, truth, and life.
And He directs His followers to be like Him, not someone who is of this world.
Jesus instructs us to love, care, and forgive like Him.
Jesus instructs us to be good to others, the same way He does. As Christians, being followers of Christ, we must abide with His word and live by His commandments by walking toward the path of righteousness that lives in the light through Jesus Christ.
Jesus was full of goodness, He sacrificed Himself just to save us from God Father's wrath and to forgive us from all our sins.
You see, Jesus died for us even if we don't deserve the love He has for us. But He still finished His mission as He was full of compassion, mercy, grace, care and love for all humanity regardless of our sins, as well as unrighteousness.
Jesus loves everyone, He cures the sick, He heals the broken-hearted, He forgives the sinners, He helps the needy and He restores faith to the weary. He even guides the troubled ones to righteousness, He takes care of us like His children, and loves each one of us.
That is how good Jesus Christ is, our Lord and Savior who reigns forever and ever.
As true followers of God, let us choose compassion over hatred, generosity over greed, gratefulness over jealousy, kindness over cruelty, love over madness, and happiness over sadness.
Let us love others, the same way Jesus Christ loves us.
Loving our neighbor means we love God. As we tend to be kind towards other people, then that is the sign that we live for God as we obeyed His instruction to live thy neighbor as thy self.
Although, it may seem hard for some people to love others because of their sins, being unrepentant, or maybe even being displayed as a bad person, let us keep God in our hearts and be good to them.
Being good means being kind, showing compassion, and having generosity that shows how we love other people. These things that I have told you are the good deeds that glorify the Lord.
Let us be like Jesus, to act, think, and feel like Him.
Jesus loves us, so we must also love others regardless of their actions and any wrongdoing.
Living by goodness means that we do not judge other people based on who they are, not hating on them because of our personal grudges, by not being disrespectful to others, and by not doing revenge towards other people.
Instead, let us live like Jesus Christ - to act, think, and feel like Him.
We must love by the glory of God, let other people see Him in us and for us to be like Him.
We are all sinners saved by the grace of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for us, so that we may be with Him in heaven someday.
So let us show goodness to others by being kind to everyone regardless of who they are, showing compassion to others even when they hurt us, being generous enough to share our blessings to some people, forgiving other people from their mistakes, and helping them whenever they need help.
Then, we become good partners, good children, good friends, as good neighbors to our community all for the goodness of God.
Let us spread the light, which is in Jesus Christ to other people so that they may experience the glory of God and for us to share His goodness to everyone.
Being virtuous, respectful, kind, loving, compassionate, and being morally good are the characteristics of a good person. A good person is someone who is righteous and who lives by the light that Jesus Christ shines through us.
A Christian is full of good deeds, someone who lives according to God's will and a person who follows the path of righteousness in Jesus Christ. A Christian believes in the truth, which is in God, and obeys His commandments. A Christian is someone who loves Jesus Christ so much, and recognize Him as the Lord and Savior. A Christian is someone who follows the virtuous deeds based on the instructions of the Word of God in the bible.
