Hebrews13:16
16 But to do good, and to communicate forget not, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
the last Duty which Christ's Sufferings without the Gate for his Subjects obligeth them to, is Liberality and Beneficence to others. In which explicitely is denied any Carelesness of Mind, Aversation of Affection, or Omission of the Duty; in which is implicitely, injoyned, Inclination to, Retention in Memory of, and constant Practice of Beneficence and Liberality, both as to spiritual and temporal Good, vigorously and chearfully edifying the Souls, and cherishing the Bodies of all necessitous ones, but especially of their poor Brethren of the Houshold of Faith, Gal. 6.10. 1 Ioh. 3.17. glorifying God by obeying his Law and Rule about it, Matth. 6.1, to 5. Ephes. 6.5, to 9.
Such doing of Good, and communicating to the Necessities of poor Saints, are part of our Evangelical Sacrifices, which God requireth of us, instead of the numerous Legal ones, and are attending on, concomitant with, and sanctified, the one true Sacrifice of Christ; and being duly terminated on him according to his Law, they are highly pleasing, and acceptable to God, yea sometimes above other Sacrifices, and holy Things given to him, and which, as he commands, he will at present greatly reward with temporal and spiritual Blessings, and with everlasting Riches and Glory in Heaven, Prov. 19.17. Micah 6.6, 7, 8. Matth. 9.13. and 25.34, to 40. 2 Cor. 9.12.
