Hello everyone! The 2nd letter of KARES in Action stands for Altruism. Dictionary.com defines Altruism as the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ practiced Altruism, he was the ultimate sacrifice for the world.
(KJV) “6 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:4-6
The people of God should possess altruism as a characteristic because our Master and Savior Jesus Christ was Altruistic and He is our example. If my brother or sister is in need and I have $10 then my brother or sister has $5. We care about others both spiritually and naturally. That spirit man is encased in flesh and that flesh man has natural needs. If he or she is hungry then we feed them. If they need shelter than we shelter them or help them to find shelter. We do what we can and doing absolutely nothing isn’t an option because we can always pray! (KJV) “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.” Luke 10:27
