There are all sorts of people that profess that they are Christian as well as there also being many others that are at least nominally faithful to their particular religion, of which, as part of being of that faith, such normally requires some degree of commitment from those that are faithful -- so demonstrating in action that they are committed to helping others in their needs. After all, to profess a belief in God, or to simply attend religious services, and perhaps make a monetary donation or two, but never to actually go out into the world and to actively help those that are the most vulnerable, that are hurting, and that are destitute, is a religious faith of little value and of correspondingly little eternal return.
The whole point of being a believer in God, within one’s particular faith, is for that belief, to not only be of benefit for one’s own self, but also, and far more importantly, to be a benefit for others that we interact with, day-by-day. We are meant to make a positive difference in this world, and wherever we see injustice, unfairness, strife, and similar, it is our solemn duty to perform what we can so do that will help to ameliorate such; for the very change that this world so needs, can only be actuated by enough people diligently pursuing what needs to be accomplished, in order for this to be a more just and a fairer place for all.
The story of the good Samaritan, so told in Holy Scripture, applies to each one of us; and every time that we come across a given scenario in which we see something that is obviously wrong, or a person that clearly is in some sort of distress, and thereby cross the street so as to pretend such doesn’t exist, or perhaps even to mouthed the words in parting, “bless you, poor soul,” but do nothing of substance to help, we have clearly shown our true colors. Again and again, we are tested in this world, of which the very point of those tests so given, is to make it unequivocally clear as to who and what we really are. So then, those that think right, but have no actions to support those thoughts are thereby found guilty for their lack of meaningful impact; whereas, those, on the other hand, that have done their fair share of sinning as well as shameful deeds, but have had the gumption and follow through to help out another troubled soul, have done that which is pleasing to their Creator.
There are no easy roads or ever a shortcut to get to where we most need to go. We can more readily get there, though, by proving to ourselves as well as to valued others, that the world does not revolve around our own self, but instead, that all are equally entitled to the fruits of this world; and thereby it is our obligation to do our part to work well with others, so that each in time can help the other, so that together we can safely arrive at our final destination, of that in which there is no beginning and there is no end.
