"I merely serve Christ when I serve others."
Selfless acts of kindness are the true signs of a Spirit-filled life. We can call ourselves Christians, but our actions must verify the claim. Mary and Joseph begged for help once in Bethlehem. How would we have responded if they had come to us to beg? How we treat people who are in need is Christ's criterion for judging how much we love Him. In all ways, we should strive to serve the poor and needy.
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill.
Psalm 113:7
