Show your love by works
Do you show your love by your works? While you have time, as you have opportunity, do you in fact do good to all men (Galatians 6:10) — neighbors or strangers, friends or enemies, good or bad? Do you do them all the good you can, endeavoring to supply all their wants, assisting them both in body and soul to the uttermost of your power? If you are thus minded, may every Christian say — yea, if you are but sincerely desirous of it, and following on till you attain — then your heart is right, as my heart is with your heart.

18. Do you shew your love by your works? While you have time, as you have opportunity, do you in fact do good to all men, neighbours or strangers, friends, or enemies, good or bad? Do you do them all the good you can? Endeavouring to supply all their wants, assisting them both in body and soul, to the uttermost of your power? If thou art thus minded, may every Christian say, yea, if thou art but sincerely desirous of it, and following on till thou attain, then thy heart is right, as my heart is with thy heart.
