Christ demands social conscience, human value

in #steemchurch5 years ago

The social conscience is that mental activity through which a person can become aware of the state of other individuals or even of herself within a community or group
While human value is a virtue that defines man as a species, they are qualities that are responsible for orienting and directing the action of people who want to do the right thing, although these vary
In the book of Matthew 25.37-40 we read:

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Sir, when did we see you hungry, and sustain you, or thirsty, and give you to drink?
And when did we see you a stranger, and we picked you up, or naked, and we covered you?

Or when we saw you sick, or in the caecel and we came to you?
And the King answering, he will say to them: Truly, I say to you, as soon as you did it to one of these my younger brothers, you did it to me

Christ commands that we have social conscience, these are the principles by which people will be judged: their treatment of those who are hungry, who are homeless, who are poor and sick or in prison
The interest in society can not be divorced, biblically "from the Christian walk"
"He who gives to the poor lends to the poor, and the good he has done will be repaid" (Proverbs 19:17)

Jesus compares our dealings with those who are in disgrace with our dealings with Him
What we do for them we do for Him, we must not allow the Christian walk to be only a spiritual enterprise, detached from service to humanity
When we fail to meet the social need, we fail to recognize the value that others have, diminishing our own merit in the eyes of the Lord, and inviting condemnation.
The book of santiago 2.14. "My brothers, what will it profit if someone who has faith, and has no works, can faith save him? - even though we remember that we are not saved by works, but by grace
And verse 17 states: "and to the one who knows how to do good, and does not do it, it is sinful"

Sort:  

The social conscience is and must be a permanent action
in the Christian then, faith without works is dead and we are called to give the hand to the needy, social conscience and human value go hand in hand therefore practicing generosity is an act of love and a sign that God is in our hearts.
