The Importance of Compassion in Life

Those who serve the elderly, those of you who serve, many who visit in prisons are evidences of a life that has been changed by Jesus. In contrast, how do we recognize if a person is heading not towards eternal life, but towards eternal destruction? Well, likewise, you can tell in the way that a person lives their life and treats people. If you really know Christ and his love towards you, you will love others. It's like gospel math. If you truly love God, this is what 1 John is all about. And make no mistake, this judgment at the end is not merely about how many good deeds did you do, but what kind of person are you?
