'Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive' (Titus 3:14).
As believers, we should learn to pursue good works, by meeting the needs of others. We should seek to be efficient in supporting others and prioritising issues that are sensitive and of urgent needs.
Jesus taught us to love our neighbours as ourselves. A 'neighbour' is anyone who is in need
(Matthew 22:40).
We should not waste precious time bickering, but focus on good works and urgent needs to all who are in dire need.
Let us search the Scriptures, which contain what is the good and perfect will of God, through His grace and having faith in Christ. We will learn to deny sin, to be sober, righteous and live godly lives.
It is in Christ that we can experience good works, by demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit and accepting God's grace by faith in Christ.
Let us not indulge ourselves in idle conversations, lest we become unfruitful or unproductive. It is important to note, that good works alone cannot save us. It is when we do good works that we are grounded in God's grace, and is an act that is pleasing to Him. In order to please God, we have to be in a right relationship with Him.
We must know what pleases God and be obedient to it.
Let us emulate Christ in all we do, because He is our example, and we need to follow Him.
God didn't save us because we have done good works, but save us according to His own mercy. So let the Christ in you and the Christ in me speak volumes in our lives, as we seek to help those in urgent needs.
Have a wonderful day

Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
