John Owen, Puritan minister, says a “charity” that actually provides aid is required, even under the gospel. The one who won’t has no love of God dwelling in them (1 John 3:17). It’s not love if it has no effects of love. Without works, faith is dead.
Recently spoke to those who wouldn’t help those who hadn’t helped them. Did they learn this from a church, or from the radio?
How can you demonstrate the effects of love?
