Caring for the tangible needs of others is at the core of Christianity
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless - look at orphans and widows in their distress - James 1:27
Compassion is echoed throughout the Bible:
- Be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor - Deuteronomy 15:11
- Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me - Matthew 25:40
- All I ask is that you remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do - Galatians 2:10
Clear and consistent demonstration of Christ-like love is a powerful magnet that pulls people toward Him
Not about who you are or what you did
It is about how you care, being a neighbor - Luke 10:36-37
In Luke 10 - when the wounded man awoke, he must have wondered, "Who did this? Why would they do help me in such a great way?"
It is when people start asking, "Why didn't he not turn away like everyone else?"
As I have loved you, so you must love one another - John 13:34-35
All men will know that you are my disciples
Key Phrase: Clear and consistent demonstration of Christ-like love is a powerful magnet that pulls people toward Him
