Following in Jesus’ footsteps

Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.  (Ephesians 5:2 NLT)

 As Christians, we are called to put our faith into action and reach out to weary and troubled hearts, the disadvantaged, downtrodden, and needy, as unto Jesus.
 Living our faith and following in Jesus’ footsteps means putting faith into action and caring for others in every possible way, and doing so as unto the Lord. We reach out to those who may be impoverished, afflicted, and in need of God’s healing balm and hope for the future.
 It is part of being the light of the world and the salt of the earth as we shine God’s light of love and truth upon those in need and demonstrate God’s love in action.
 When living our Christianity, putting faith into action, pursuing God’s Spirit, we attempt to become like Jesus, to take on His attributes, which gives birth to mercy, compassion, having a heart for people, understanding their physical and spiritual needs, and being moved to do what we can to improve their lives, both spiritually and practically. We walk as Jesus walked. We follow the Master.
 What we do for others—our service, our prayers, our giving—we do for Jesus. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. —Hudson Taylor
