Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christනියැදිය

Commands of Christ: 18 

Give to the one who asks. Do not turn away from those who want to borrow. If someone takes what is yours, do not demand it back. 

This command is somewhat difficult with friends. With enemies? He must be kidding! This is another one of those commands we should be extremely grateful that Christ modeled for us. In Romans 5:7-8 we read: “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” In light of that, surely we can part with physical goods to demonstrate we are His children and give a bit of the love He has lavished on us.
