And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:9,10 ESV)
Do Good
I am learning to play the Mandolin. I practice a little bit, nearly every day. And honestly, most days I do not see much progress. Some days I seem to lose ground.
But I keep at it. Because I know that in dues season, I will reap, if I do not give up.
When Paul urges the Galatians to keep doing good things, he was not describing, of course, the process of salvation. The entire book of Galatians is making the point that we are saved by grace, not works.
But doing good helps those around us. Doing good honors God. Doing good brings Christ’s kingdom into this reality. Doing good is what we get to do.
Even if we can not see the results right now.
We are peculiar, we can do good.
