‘Making A Sacrifice.’
a) Matthew 19:29. For the sake of the Lord will be rewarded. Also those who make the sacrifice have assurance of Eternal Life.
b) Mark 10:43-45. To become a godly Leader. This is following the example of Jesus Christ.
c) Hebrews 6:10. God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard we work for Him. We show our love for Him by caring for other Believers.
(Through this QT I understand that Making A Sacrifice should be a part of my normal live as a True Believer)

Chris.
One of the ways in which we show our love for the Lord is by caring for other True Believers. It does take time and effort to care for other people, it is a Sacrifice that is pleasing to God to do so. Some people need very little care because they can care well for themselves, maybe we can care for these people by giving them a meal or such as that. There are other people in the Church, however, who need much more care. We should not ignore them or treat them badly as if they are secondary people.
