First, God love you SO much that He wants to spend eternity with YOU!
How to be a good neighbor:
(Luke 10:25-33 ish)
1. Vision
A good neighbor... Sees. Ask God to open your eyes to what is around you. You need to see what is going on spiritually, and not spiritually.
2. Compassion
A good neighbor... Feels. Open your heart! Alexander McLaren said,"You tell me the depth of a Christian's compassion, and I will tell you the measure of his usefulness." How deep does your compassion go? God is looking for such people. How does it affect you, knowing there are many people who do not know Christ, knowing they are basically on their way to a certain judgment? Does it move you? Until you are moved in the depths of your soul, you won't be moved to take any action.
3. Action
A good neighbor... Acts. Open your hands! 1 John 3:17-18.
So who IS your neighbor? If you haven't guessed by now . . here's a hint: EVERYONE! So, get up and get going.
