If you are a Christian, you are being watched. People look to you to see what Jesus is like. If you are cruel, unkind, and unloving, that’s what they’ll think God is like. People want to know what Jesus is like, so let’s show them! The Bible says that we should show God’s love to everyone so that when people see our good works they will glorify God. There are times when you should be sneaky and hide your good works, especially if you have a problem with wanting too much attention. But, if it glorifies God, there are also times when it’s really important to show your good works!
Bible Verses About Showing Your Good Works:
- Matthew 5:16 | Let your light shine!
- 2 Corinthians 5:20 | Show people what God is like.
- Matthew 22:37-39 | Love God and love your neighbor.
- Psalm 139:13-15 | God loves you so love yourself!
- Hebrews 13:16 | Don’t forget to do good.
