And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others through an emphasis on the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and also the world through these Jesus-colored lenses. This short reading plan is based on the habit of Generosity.
Love your enemies. Be good to everyone. Have mercy. What exactly does that look like? It's more than biting your tongue and holding your peace. Or, refraining from responding to a hateful deed. It's more than not going out of your way to expose a person after receiving VIP access to a shameful fact about them. This call to action requires us to examine the 'love' department in our lives.
At times you may feel as if you're the only one who is doing good toward others. You think, "Hey is anybody else out there helping anyone?" Galatians 6:9-10 is a good reminder when you are feeling this way.
