Me? I think I need to do good things. I don't have to believe that Jesus is doing anything through me.

But my question remains, for you guys, what has to happen for Jesus to feed the hungry (e.g.) through you?

So you are not crucified with Christ, thereby allowing Christ to live through you?

That's just religion.

sounds like you dont really belive in the bible. have you just decided no more religion for me? your reply sounds like something a athiest would say.

anyway

a sinner can feed the hungry, with money
a christian does the same, however it doesnt stop there. They also feed them the the word, that leads to eternal life.

We have to get self out of the way and stop trying to exert fleshly effort to do good, and ask Christ to inspire and empower us to do so in faith that He actually lives through us. We then cooperate with His Spirit in us and act. Otherwise it is knowledge of good and evil and making ourselves do good.
