How Shall We Live?

And the word of the LORD came to Zechari'ah, saying, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy each to his brother, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart."

Zechariah 7: 8-10

So how does one know when a person of faith is acting in accordance with the Word of God? The prophet Zechariah set forth the above from the Lord over 2500 years ago. And yet today, it would be hard to improve upon this litmus test. The kingdom is not about preserving correct doctrine; but, in doing the will of God. How we treat one another and those who are defenseless says more about us than anything we can say about ourselves. Ultimately, it is what is in one's heart that will be made known by one's actions. We reap the harvest of what we sow.
