"Called"

As a Christian what is our calling?
To sit back and watch others and criticize and pat ourselves on the back that we aren't like that...to turn away and pretend that we are so much better then they are and no matter what I would NEVER struggle with anything like that not on your life, because I have so much more self-control, self assurance, self worth then that...

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God

Or is there no compassion because we may not have ever had to struggles with the same problems that a friend or someone you know may be going through..so you may wonder I just don't understand how they can let something like that bother them..why can't they just let it go...???

If we would happen to pass by an auto accident and see someone in desperate need of help but didn't think that it would matter if we would stop to get them help because there wouldn't be anything I could do...it wouldn't matter anyway, it would probably be to late..to save them...what would be the point of stopping and trying to help??

If we know someone is lost, doesn't know Christ...but don't think that we could convince them that Jesus came to save, that He died and was buried but rose again on the 3rd day and now sits at the right hand of our Father in Heaven..and if we believe and put our trust in Him that we may have eternal life...do we (do I) just turn my back and walk away...and say it would be of no use anyways, they won't listen to me....

John 3:16 For God so loved that world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life....

It must have been a really a sad, dark and awful day for our Savior that day, when He was forsaken...when everyone left Him, and He took upon Him all the sins of the world, so that we could all have the free gift of salvation if only we would believe and put our trust in Him.

I will lean on the "one" true friend that we can have...and that is Jesus...
Hebrews 13:5 says "Never will I leave you or forsake you"
