"a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit"         (James 2:15-16 NKJV)

Authority

God comes, in His love, to deliver us by His power, God, who is rich in mercy, according to his great love gave us the authority  to carry on  His teachings. Blessed are those who follow His order for they will enjoy the kingdom of heaven.  One  authority that God gave is  to forgive, to forgive is love. Being mature of the word is not that because you know the scripture, that you go to church, being mature you know how to forgive, you know how to love your enemy.

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Luke 10:19:24 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpion and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men

I John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Footnotes: Now to say that we are born of Him is to say that we are children of God. What a love is that which the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children! Therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. We are children of God: this is our present sure and known position; we are born of God. That which we shall be is not yet manifested; but we know that- associated with Jesus as we are in the same relationship with the Father, Himself being our life-we shall be like Him when He appears.
