What is the welfare of others?
It is to help, aid or teach by personal example or effort!
It is hypocrisy only when your motive for doing it is wrong and you're not genuinely seeking the welfare and benefit of others.
Agape love is described as the "love (that) can be known only from the actions it prompts."
This is not the love of complacency or affection, that is, it was not drawn out by any excellency in its objects (Rom. 5:8).
Christian love (agape), whether exercised toward the brethren, or toward others generally, is not an impulse from the feelings. It does not always run with the natural inclinations.
It (Agape) seeks the welfare of all (Rom. 15:2)
Accept One Another
1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”and works no ill to any (Rom. 13:8-10).
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commands there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor.
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
" (Agape) - seeks the opportunity to do good to all people. . ."
Let God's love flow through you today.
