James M Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 God desires that we speak less and listen more (Jam. 1:19).Our focus should rather be on deeds that are helpful and uplifting to others. Our toungues often falter and utter that are hurtful to others and prideful. When we're helping needy (ophans and widows), our focus goes to their needs as we cannot expect them to reciprocate and they are not in a position to pay us back. God thus regards our selfless focus and loving deeds as pure and faultless religion. This could be because christianity is best defined by the lifestyle of our Lord Jesus who lived a selfless life, meeting the needs of all those He came across. Similarly we ought to live for His glory and the benefit of others (2 Cor.5:15). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
