1 Sam. 2:8 He lifts the poor from the dust-- Yes, from a pile of
ashes-- And treats them as princes sitting in the seats of honor. For
all the earth is the Lord's And he has set the world in order.

1 John 3:17 But if someone who is supposed to be a Christian has money
enough to live well, and sees a brother in need, and won't help
him--how can God's love be within him ? 1 John 3:18 Little children,
let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and
show it by our actions. 1 John 3:19 Then we will know for sure, by our
actions, that we are on God's side, and our consciences will be clear,
even when we stand before the Lord.

1 Tim. 6:17 Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust
in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust
should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for
our enjoyment. 1 Tim. 6:18 Tell them to use their money to do good.
They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in
need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given
them. 1 Tim. 6:19 By doing this they will be storing up real treasure
for themselves in heaven--it is the only safe investment for eternity!
And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well.

Eph. 2:8 Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting
Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from
God. Eph 2:9 Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so
none of us can take any credit for it. Eph 2:10 It is God himself who
has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and
long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping
others.

(KING JAMES VERSION) Eph. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.

James 2:14 Dear brothers, what's the use of saying that you have faith
and are Christians if you aren't proving it by helping others? Will
that kind of faith save anyone? James 2:15 If you have a friend who is
in need of food and clothing, James 2:16 and you say to him, "Well,
good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat hearty," and then don't
give him clothes or food, what good does that do? James 2:17 So you
see, it isn't enough just to have faith. You must also do good to
prove that you have it. Faith that doesn't show itself by good works
is no faith at all--it is dead and useless. James 2:18 But someone may
well argue, "You say the way to God is by faith alone, plus nothing;
well, I say that good works are important too, for without good works
you can't prove whether you have faith or not; but anyone can see that
I have faith by the way I act." James 2:19 Are there still some among
you who hold that "only believing" is enough? Believing in one God?
Well, remember that the demons believe this too--so strongly that they
tremble in terror! James 2:20 Fool! When will you ever learn that
"believing" is useless without doing what God wants you to? Faith that
does not result in good deeds is not real faith.

James 2:21 Don't you remember that even our father Abraham was
declared good because of what he did when he was willing to obey God,
even if it meant offering his son Isaac to die on the altar? James
2:22 You see, he was trusting God so much that he was willing to do
whatever God told him to; his faith was made complete by what he
did--by his actions, his good deeds. James 2:23 And so it happened
just as the Scriptures say, that Abraham trusted God, and the Lord
declared him good in God's sight, and he was even called "the friend
of God." James 2:24 So you see, a man is saved by what he does, as
well as by what he believes.

Mat. 25:34 "Then I, the King, shall say to those at my right, 'Come,
blessed of my Father, into the Kingdom prepared for you from the
founding of the world. Mat. 25:35 For I was hungry and you fed me; I
was thirsty and you gave me water; I was a stranger and you invited me
into your homes; Mat. 25:36 naked and you clothed me; sick and in
prison, and you visited me.' Mat. 25:37 "Then these righteous ones
will reply, 'Sir, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or
thirsty and give you anything to drink? Mat. 25:38 Or a stranger, and
help you? Or naked, and clothe you? Mat. 25:39 When did we ever see
you sick or in prison, and visit you?' Mat. 25:40 "And I, the King,
will tell them, 'When you did it to these my brothers you were doing
it to me!' Mat. 25:41 Then I will turn to those on my left and say,
'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for
the devil and his demons. Mat. 25:42 For I was hungry and you wouldn't
feed me; thirsty, and you wouldn't give me anything to drink; Mat
25:43 a stranger, and you refused me hospitality; naked, and you
wouldn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
Mat. 25:44 "Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you
hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not
help you?' Mat 25:45 "And I will answer, 'When you refused to help the
least of these my brothers, you were refusing help to me.' Mat. 25:46

into everlasting life."

Luke 12:30 All mankind scratches for its daily bread, but your

this and you shall live!" Luke 10:29 The man wanted to justify (his
lack of love for some kinds of people), so he asked, "Which
neighbors?" Luke 10:30 Jesus replied with an illustration: "A Jew
going on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho was attacked by bandits.
They stripped him of his clothes and money, and beat him up and left
him lying half dead beside the road. Luke 10:31 "By chance a Jewish
priest came along; and when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to
the other side of the road and passed him by. Luke 10:32 A Jewish
Temple-assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but then
went on. Luke 10:33 "But a despised Samaritan came along, and when he
saw him, he felt deep pity. Luke 10:34 Kneeling beside him the
Samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandaged them. Then he
put the man on his donkey and walked along beside him till they came
to an inn, where he nursed him through the night. Luke 10:35 The next
day he handed the innkeeper two twenty-dollar bills and told him to
take care of the man. 'If his bill runs higher than that,' he said,
'I'll pay the difference the next time I am here.' Luke 10:36 "Now
which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the bandits'
victim?" Luke 10:37 The man replied, "The one who showed him some
pity." Then Jesus said, "Yes, now go and do the same."

2 Cor. 9:7 Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should
give. Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for
cheerful givers are the ones God prizes. 2 Cor. 9:8 God is able to
make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that
there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over
to give joyfully to others. 2 Cor. 9:9 It is as the Scriptures say:
"The godly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an
honor to him forever." 2 Cor. 9:10 For God, who gives seed to the
farmer to plant, and later on good crops to harvest and eat, will give
you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can
give away more and more fruit from your harvest. 2 Cor. 9:11 Yes, God
will give you much so that you can give away much, and when we take
your gifts to those who need them they will break out into
thanksgiving and praise to God for your help. 2 Cor. 9:12 So two good
things happen as a result of your gifts--those in need are helped, and
they overflow with thanks to God. 2 Cor 9:13 Those you help will be
glad not only because of your generous gifts to themselves and to
others, but they will praise God for this proof that your deeds are as
good as your doctrine. 2 Cor. 9:14 And they will pray for you with
deep fervor and feeling because of the wonderful grace of God shown
through you. 2 Cor. 9:15 Thank God for his Son--his Gift too wonderful
for words.
