The Bible invites us to do good to everyone.
Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. (1 Thes 5:15 NIV)
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Gal 6:10)
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord . . . (Heb 12:14)
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. (3 Joh 1:11)
As children of the most High God, we desire to live holy lives that obey the Word of God. We serve a good God who is full of mercy, forgiveness, and love. God has given every believer the blessing of the indwelling Holy Spirit, who leads us and teaches us.
We should:
- Strive to do whatever is good—for each other and everyone else;
- Never pay back a wrong; never seek revenge;
- As we have opportunity, do noble, virtuous, kind things for everyone—especially other believers;
- Seek to be at peace with ALL; and
- Pursue holiness always.
Jesus, our Good Shepherd, demonstrated “doing good” to all. If we follow His example, and emulate our Prince of Peace, we will be blessed.
