a Christian, but I don't know what to do, and where to to it...”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Our Lord, has called all Christians, into Christian service.
Romans
12;6-8 NLT
6 In
his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things
well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with
as much faith as God has given you.
7 If
your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher,
teach well.
8 If
your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving,
give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the
responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness
to others, do it gladly.
Every Christian, has received gifts from The Lord. We are to use our
gifts in helping and blessing others. If you need help, ask your
Pastor, he will certainly show you where help is needed in your
church. Ask your community leaders, help at the mission downtown, the
hospital, VFW, etc. etc.
Christian
Service:
Leviticus 25:35-38 NLT (Redemption of the Poor and Enslaved)
35
“If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and cannot
support himself, support him as you would a foreigner or a temporary
resident and allow him to live with you.
36
Do not charge interest or make a profit at his expense. Instead, show
your fear of God by letting him live with you as your relative.
37
Remember, do not charge interest on money you lend him or make a
profit on food you sell him.
38 I
am The Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to
give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
Deuteronomy
15:7-11 NLT
7 If
there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of
thy gates in thy land which The Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt
not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend
him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
9
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The
seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil
against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto
The Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when
thou givest unto him: because that for this thing The Lord thy God
shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine
hand unto.
11
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command
thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to
thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Isaiah
58:6-11 NLT
6
“No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly
imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the
oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people.
7
Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.
Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives
who need your help.
8
“Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will
quickly heal. Your Godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of
The Lord will protect you from behind.
9
Then when you call, The Lord will answer.‘Yes, I am here,’ He
will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop
pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!
10
Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will
shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as
bright as noon.
11
The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are
dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered
garden, like an ever-flowing spring.
Proverbs
14:21 NLT
It
is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor; blessed are those who help the
poor.
Matthew
6:1-6 KJV
1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that
they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth:
4
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of
the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward.
6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew
20:25-28 KJV
25
But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the princes of
the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great
exercise authority upon them.
26
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among
you, let him be your minister;
27
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28
Even as The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Matthew
22:34-40 KJV
34
But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to
silence, they were gathered together.
35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting
Him, and saying,
36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38
This is the first and great commandment.
39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself.
40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew
23:11 KJV
But
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Matthew
25:31-46 KJV
31
When The Son Of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels
with Him, then shall He sit upon The Throne Of His Glory:
32
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate
them one from another, as A Shepherd divideth His sheep from the
goats:
33
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the
left.
34
Then shall The King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed
of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35
For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
36
Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto Me.
37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed
thee?
39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40
And The King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My
brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42
For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave Me no drink:
43 I
was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not:
sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
44
Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?
45
Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.
46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into Life eternal.
Mark
9:35 KJV
And
He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man
desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of
all.
Mark
10:45 KJV
For
even The Son Of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give His life a ransom for many.
Luke
6:38 KJV
Give,
and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and
shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to
you again.
Luke
22:27 NKJV
For
who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not
he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as The One who serves.
Acts
20:35 KJV
I
have shewed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support
the weak, and to remember The Words Of The Lord Jesus, how He said,
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Romans
12:9-13 NLT
9
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is
wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
10
Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring
each other.
11
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve The Lord enthusiastically.
12
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on
praying.
13
When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be
eager to practice hospitality.
Romans
15:1,2 KJV
1 We
then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and
not to please ourselves.
2
Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.
Galatians
5:13 NLT
For
you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But
don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use
your freedom to serve one another in love.
Galatians
6:2,9,10 KJV
2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.
10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Colossians
3:23,24 KJV
23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto
men;
24
Knowing that of The Lord ye shall receive the reward of the
inheritance: for ye serve The Lord Christ.
Hebrews
6:10 NLT
For
God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for
Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other
believers, as you still do.
Hebrews
10:24,25 KJV
24
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good
works:
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of
some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see
the day approaching.
Hebrews
13:1-3,15,16 NLT
1
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
2
Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have
done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
3
Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember
also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own
bodies.
15
Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise
to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His name.
16
And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These
are the sacrifices that please God.
James
1:22-25 KJV
22
But be ye doers of The Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves.
23
For if any be a hearer of The Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a
man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25
But whoso looketh into The Perfect Law Of Liberty, and continueth
therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 2:14-24 NKJV (Faith Without Works Is Dead)
14
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but
does not have works? Can faith save him?
15
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
16
and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and
filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for
the body, what does it profit?
17
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me
your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my
works.
19
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons
believe—and tremble!
20
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is
dead?
21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac
his son on the altar?
22
Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by
works faith was made perfect?
23
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called
the friend of God.
24
You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
I
Peter 4:10 KJV
As
every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
