5. Ask yourself: is my Christian service characterized by diligence and passionate fervor? Or do my works suggest apathy and a lack of appreciation for the sacrifice of Jesus?
6. We are called to figure out what the saints need and to selflessly contribute to them.
7. The Christian response to persecution is to speak well of our opponents. Cursing language is unchristlike and forbidden by God.
