Let's explore these verses and discover how we can make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others, using biblical examples and teachings from Jesus himself.
1️⃣ "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:10
🌱 Just as God created us with a purpose, we are called to walk in the good works that He has prepared for us. By seeking His guidance and listening to His voice, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us.
2️⃣ "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9
🌱 Sometimes, making a difference can be tiring or discouraging. But this verse reminds us to persevere and continue doing good, for we will eventually see the fruits of our labor.
3️⃣ "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." - Hebrews 13:16
🌱 By sharing our blessings with others, we please God and make a difference in their lives. Whether it's through acts of kindness, generosity, or simply being there for someone, we have the power to bring joy and hope to others.
4️⃣ "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..." - Galatians 5:22

5️⃣ "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great..." - Luke 6:35
🌱 Jesus teaches us to love unconditionally, even those who may not love us back. When we extend kindness to our enemies and do good without expecting anything in return, we not only make a difference in their lives but also reflect the character of Christ.
6️⃣ "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16

🌱 Jesus himself sets the perfect example of making a difference through service. He humbled himself and gave His life to redeem us. By serving others selflessly, we can reflect His love and make a lasting impact.
8️⃣ "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." - Proverbs 11:25
🌱 When we bless others and pour into their lives, we are also blessed in return. By sowing seeds of kindness and encouragement, we create a ripple effect that can transform lives and communities.
9️⃣ "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works..." - Hebrews 10:24
🌱 We have the power to inspire and encourage one another to love and pursue good works. By being intentional in our relationships and uplifting others, we can ignite a passion for making a difference in the lives of those around us.
🔟 "Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:8
🌱 Love is the foundation for making a difference. When we love one another deeply and unconditionally, we create an environment where forgiveness, healing, and transformation can take place.
1️⃣1️⃣ "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." - John 13:34
🌱 Jesus commands us to love one another, not just with human love, but with the selfless and sacrificial love that He has shown us. By following His example, we can impact lives and bring about positive change.
1️⃣2️⃣ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

Luke 15:20-24 – "So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate."

Romans 12:17-21 – "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Acts 17:24-28 – "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'"
