I *completely agree*. By demonstrating God’s love through good works, we show the world a glimpse of God’s character and nature, which can be a powerful witness, especially in a world where many people may not know or understand God’s love.
Victor IsokrariParticipantThe examples of Rebekah and Joseph serve as powerful reminders of the importance of serving others with a genuine attitude of service. Despite their different circumstances, both Rebekah and Joseph demonstrated remarkable faithfulness and selflessness in their service. Rebekah’s willingness to serve Eliezer, a stranger, and Joseph’s commitment to serving Potiphar, his master, demonstrate that true service is not about seeking personal gain or favor, but about putting the needs of others before our own. While Rebekah’s service led to a positive outcome, Joseph’s service landed him in prison, highlighting that the consequences of our service are not always within our control. Nevertheless, their examples inspire us to serve others with integrity, faithfulness, and humility, regardless of the circumstances or consequences. By doing so, we can demonstrate our love and commitment to God and to others.
Victor IsokrariParticipantThanks a lot; this really shows the how the consequences of the fall of man extended beyond the humanity but to the environment. Analyzing your point further; When Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command, they triggered a curse that affected the entire creation. The ground was cursed, and thorns and thistles began to grow, making it difficult for humanity to cultivate the land (Genesis 3:17-19).
This curse led to a deterioration of the environment, resulting in natural disasters, environmental degradation, and human suffering. The Bible describes the creation as being “subjected to frustration” and in “bondage to decay” (Romans 8:20-22). However, the Bible also offers hope for redemption, promising that through Jesus Christ, the creation will be “liberated from its bondage to decay” and brought into the “freedom and glory of the children of God”
