Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3 ESV
Just as Christ did not rely on His divinity while on earth, but denied Himself to the point of dying to redeem us, we should love others enough to take care of their needs before our own.
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18, ESV
Some may say “share the Gospel, and if necessary use words.”
That is not the point here. Rather, it is better said “put your money where your mouth is.”

Hebrews 4:12, ESV
God’s Word reveals our every and deepest sins and intentions, but it also reveals God’s endless love and grace for those who call on Christ’s name.
