He defended the cause of the poor and needy,
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know me?"
declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 22:16 NIV)
This is how
we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life
for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our
brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees
his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the
love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love
with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (1
John 3:16-18 NIV)
