It is tempting to think that belonging to the “right group” — the Church, a ministry, or even just calling ourselves Christians — automatically saves us. But St Paul reminds us that God “has no favourites.” Privilege comes with responsibility.

We are not saved by our labels, but by a living faith that transforms us. True faith in Jesus cannot remain idle; it blossoms into love, mercy, and good works. Not because we’re earning points with God, but because His love has changed our hearts.

How is my faith in Jesus bearing fruit in love and mercy today?
