One good man told another good man that the Greatest Man “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38). In the midst of a statement about His Deity and His power, this profound principle still stands out about His deeds. Obviously, Jesus would not go about doing evil (1 Pet. 2:22), but neither would He settle for mediocrity and uninvolvement. He was the proactive Prince of Peace!
Of course, He wants us to follow Him (cf. Mt. 4:19; 1 Co. 11:1; 1 Pet. 2:21). As His followers, we must go about doing good. When we consider what scripture says about our doing good, it should make us eager to be a full-fledged participant. Consider:
- Doing good brings glory to God (Mt. 5:16; 1 Pet. 2:12).
- Doing good makes us rich in the only way that counts (1 Tim. 6:18).
- Doing good is the pathway to the resurrection of life (Jn. 5:29).
- Doing good proves that we are owned by God (Titus 2:14).
- Doing good is how we show that we are fruitful (Titus 3:14).
- Doing good is how to show yourself as the right kind of example (Titus 2:7).
- Doing good will eventually reap wonderful benefits (Gal. 6:9).
- Doing good pleases God (Heb. 13:16).
- Doing good results in eternal life (Rom. 2:7).
- Doing good is learned behavior (Isa. 1:17).
- Doing good is an ever-present opportunity (Mk. 14:17).
- Doing good comes with a window of opportunity (Gal. 6:10).
- Doing good helps one love life and see good days (1 Pet. 3:10-11).
Look at the blessings attached to doing good. It brightens others’ lives. It enriches our own lives. It brings eternal life. It pleases the One who is “The Life” (cf. Jn. 14:6). Doing good is truly the good life and the only life. It may be a word, a smile, an action, a favor, a sacrifice, a gift, or a prayer. It may take a moment. It may take much longer. Do it to make others happy, to contribute to your own happiness, and to make God happy. Most importantly, just do it!
