Romans 12:9-16
Sometimes people pretend to love others. They know how to speak kindly, avoid hurt feelings, and appear to be interested in them. They may even be skilled at pretending to feel compassion when they hear of others' needs or to become indignant when they learn of injustice. But God calls us to honest and sincere love that goes far beyond pretense and politeness. Sincere love requires concentration and effort as it involves helping others become better people. It demands our time and our money and our personal involvement. So look for people who need your love and find ways to benefit them.
God's way of honoring involves love. As Christians, we honor people because they have been created in God's image, are our brothers and sisters in Christ, and are a unique contribution to God's church.
