When you do a good work don’t let your left hand know what you right hand is doing....Jesus
. . . and your Father, Who sees what is secret . . . reckon yourselves also dead to sin and alive to God. We do our works before God, part of our relationship with Him. If we walk in the Spirit, God's love in us will show us what to do for others.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV
4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8) Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
I like to point to this chapter to say that this not only describes love, but it's also a detailed description of the new man, who is made in the pattern of God.
So that which doesn't look like these things, that's from the flesh, it's the old man, and we put it off. Take that thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Much love!
