Those who truly care for the needs of others display the spirit of Christ. This is "Empathy". People like knowing they are cared for.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
There are times when we can’t help bear a load physically, but we can be there for them spiritually. We can pray for them.
Whatever we say about helping people, to make a difference we must love them.
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Genuine love among Christian brothers and sisters is a mark of true salvation. Where true love is, other essential elements of fellowship will be found ---- forgiveness, peace, joy, kindness, tenderness, meekness, blessing and acceptance.
