MATHEW 18:24-

24) And when he had begun
to reckon, one was brought
unto him, which owed him
thousand talents
25) But forasmuch as he had
not to pay, his LORD
commanded him to be sold,
and his wife, and children,
and all that he had, and
payment to be made
26) The servant therefore
fell down, and worshiped
him, saying LORD, have
patience with me, and I will
pay thee all
27)Then the LORD of that
servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him,
and forgave him the debt
28) But the same servant
went out, and found one of
his fellow servants, which
owed him a hundred pence;
and he laid hands on him,
and took him by the throat
saying, pay me that thou
owest
29)And his fellow servant fell
down at his feet, and
besought him, saying, have
patience with me, and I will
pay thee all
30)And he would not; but
went and cast him into
prison, till he should pay the
debt
31)So when his servants saw
what was done, they were
very sorry, and came and told
unto their LORD all that was
done
32)Then his LORD, after that
he had called him, said unto
him, O thou wicked servant, I
forgave thee all that debt,
because thou desiredst me
33) Shouldest not thou also
have had compassion on thy
fellow servant, even as I had
pity on thee?
34)And his LORD was wroth,
and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he should pay
all that was due unto him
35)So likewise shall my
heavenly FATHER do also
unto you, if ye from your
hearts forgive not every one
his brother their trespasses.

should hold their peace; but
they cried the more, saying,
have mercy

and called them, and said,
what will I ye that I shall do
unto you?

THE ACT OF COMPASSION
BY BELIEVER
*Help the poor according to
your ability, be benevolent,
and you will
*The average citizen was to
love and care enough to
share his material goods with
those who were in need.
*The giving must be
sacrificial, the giver was to
love and care so much that
he will give with mercy and
compassion by giving what
he had to affect the
devastating world of poverty
The nature of religion is to do
good, this requires self-denial
and none will deny
themselves who are not
attached to GOD
*He answered and told them
what to do, which is not
about ceremonial observance
nor rituals but upon act of
compassion and kindness to
the poor , which is core of
the religion love thy neighbor
as thy self, which involves
love of GOD, and also the
whole law.

LUKE 6:35
|
35 But love ye your enemies,
and do good, and lend
hoping for nothing again; and
your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children
of the highest; for he is kind
unto the unthankful and the
evil
36) Be ye therefore merciful,
as your FATHER also is
merciful.
|
THE BELIEVER BEHAVIOR
The believer behavior
must surpass a sinner
behavior:
But loving, doing good, and
lending; not to your friends
only, but to your enemies
Hoping for nothing again
lend without interest
*Be ye therefore merciful:
tenderhearted, kind
compassionate, which is the
divine attribute.
|
|
ROMANS 12:10
|
10) Be kindly affection one
to another with brotherly
love; in honor preferring one
another
|
BELIEVERS DAILY BEHAVIOR
The believer must love
others with pure and sincere
without hypocrisy, honest
and truthful love, not selfish
motive
The believer is to love by
clinching to that which is
good, doing good and rich in
good works, so as to affect
the ravaging world
|
|
ROMANS 12:20
|
20) therefore if thine enemy
hunger, feed him; if he
thirsty, give him drink; for in
so doing thou shalt heap
coals of fir on his head
|
IF YOUR ENEMY HUNGER
FEED HIM; IF HE THIRSTY
GIVE HIM DRINK; Don’t
render evil for evil, do him
good for evil
THOU SHALT HEAP COAL OF
FIRE ON HIS HEAD will bring
down greater vengeance
from God upon him
PROVERBS: 25:21
If your enemy be hungry,
give him bread to eat. And if
he be thirsty, give him to
drink.

JAMES 2:15-16
|
15) if a brother or sister be
naked, and destitute of daily
food
16) And one of you say unto
them, depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give
them not those things which
are needful to the body what
doth it profit
|
IF A BROTHER OR SISTER BE
NAKED AND DESTITUTE OF
DAILY FOOD
If a person is badly clothed
rags, or naked
or needy of daily food, that is
necessary to sustain life
under this two nakedness
and hunger
DEPRIVED OF DAILY FOOD
And destitute of daily food;
have not food sufficient
under nakedness and hunger,
he comprehends all the
human calamities, which may
be relief by the help of
others; as food and clothes
contained ordinary support
of life
A believers is to support
the weak and venerable in
society by providing to the
needy.
