Galatians 6:10

So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.

The badge of Christian behavior is that of positive good toward all on earth. "Work that which is good ..." Strange that Paul should have mentioned this, especially if he had been advocating for five chapters that "works" do not have anything to do with salvation! Of course, the meaning in those previous chapters refers to the works of the Law of Moses and not to that class of works which Christians must do. Yes, the word is must! Christ equated salvation with this very principle Paul had in view here, there being the same distinction between "everybody" and "the household of faith" in the great passage from Matthew 25:31-46. Although the Christian must do good and not do evil to all people, there is a special and prior obligation to Christian brothers, as elaborated by Jesus in the passage cited. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these MY BRETHREN ..." was the test of receiving or losing eternal life. The savage humanism of the current era which would tie the full resources of the church of God to every social scheme that comes along cannot be justified by a proper respect to what Jesus said there and what Paul said here.
