Christmas is a time when family members share fun and presents with each other.
In Ephesians 2:10 we read: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
So, to do good deeds is based on the principle that goodness is present in every person as a creation of God.
Goodness is seen especially during the Christmas season when families get together.
Researchers, however, declared that in 2023 the principle of family totally changed. The newest definition of family is that it consists of any combination of two or more people.
These people are bound together over time, by ties of mutual consent, birth, adoption, or placement and who take responsibility for various activities of daily living, including love.
So the question for every believer is, can we share love this season by sharing acts of goodness?
God loves people and even empirical research proves that we are to share Gods goodness to people. In a study of 113 respondents, 94,7% respondents agreed that God is good and therefore it is the responsibility of his following to show this trait to members of the community through acts of goodness.
It is possible for you to share the love you have inside of you.
In Galatians 5:22-23 (TPT) we read: But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.
