John Gill emphasizes the moral responsibility of those who possess worldly goods to show compassion towards those in need. He explains that true love for God is demonstrated through our actions towards our neighbors, particularly those who are less fortunate. Gill highlights that having the means to help others obligates one to act with kindness and generosity, as withholding assistance reflects a lack of God's love within. He stresses that love should be accompanied by genuine compassion and not given begrudgingly. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to reflect on their hearts and actions in relation to their brothers and sisters in need.

John Wesley emphasizes the duty of reproving our neighbor as an act of love, rooted in the command from Leviticus 19:17. He explains that reproving involves addressing sin and error in others, and that we are called to do this for everyone, especially those close to us, as neglecting this duty equates to hating our brother in our heart. Wesley outlines the importance of approaching reproof with love, humility, and meekness, ensuring that our intentions are clear and our manner is respectful. He encourages believers to be diligent in this labor of love, trusting that God will bring about fruit in due time, and highlights that a spirit of reproving is essential for a genuine revival of faith.

J.R. Miller emphasizes the profound challenge of truly loving our neighbors, as illustrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan. He contrasts the actions of the priest and Levite, who passed by a wounded man without offering help, with the Samaritan who showed compassion and took action. Miller argues that love is not merely the absence of harm but the active pursuit of doing good for others, highlighting that neglecting to help those in need is a serious moral failing. He calls on listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how often they pass by opportunities to show love and kindness. Ultimately, Miller urges that we will be judged not only by our actions but also by our inactions towards those around us.
