Do good and endure welldoing

DO GOOD AND ENDURE WELL DOING

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap.”

Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”

Doing well unto others takes effort, especially if you’re not immediately seeing results… but we are urged to be not weary, we are to not lose courage or lose heart because there will be a time where what you’ve been doing shall be paid unto you.

AGAIN, GOD INSTRUCTS US TO WALK IN LOVE: THIS IS HOW TO WALK

Ephesians 4:17 “This I say therefore and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles (those who do not believe in Jesus Christ) walk, in the vanity (emptiness) of their mind.

This verse is exhorting the believers to stop walking in the vanity or emptiness of man’s nature (the flesh). Stop walking like the natural creature does, in emptiness, without direction, in total self interest, in constant need to satisfy whatever urge your natural body (the flesh) is producing at the moment.

Ephesians 4:18 “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated (estranged) from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because the blindness (or hardness) of their heart.”

Those who walk in the “vanity of their mind” or in man’s nature (the flesh) are estranged from the “life” and the spiritual goodness that comes with being born again… the understanding between what’s good and what’s evil is darkened (and the darker it gets, the harder it is to see). Those who live in man’s nature (the flesh) will find it hard seeing what’s morally right and wrong, because their hearts are hardened towards God.

Ephesians 4:19 “Who being past feeling (hardened, same word as used before) have given themselves over to lasciviousness (excess, immoderation, wantoness) to work all uncleanness (ethical impurity) with greediness (the will to have more).”

This is what those who live in mans’s nature (the flesh) and whose heart hath hardened towards the truth of God’s word. They will live in a state of excess and immoderation all while exhibiting ethical impurity and a desire to have more.
