To be charitable is different than to have charity. Often, they go together, but their definitions differ considerably. To be charitable, is to donate to charity, to visit the sick, impart of your substance, etc. To have charity (the pure love of Christ) is to have something much greater. Paul taught that it is possible to be charitable without having charity when he said, though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor…and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing (1 Cor 13:3). Therefore, our goal is to be charitable because we possess charity not because we wish to be seen, Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven (Matt 6:1).
