What does the Bible say about compassion for the poor?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who consider the poor are blessed and will be delivered by the Lord in times of trouble.

Psalm 41 illustrates that the compassionate are favored by God, as expressed in the verse, 'Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.' This reflects the biblical principle that genuine concern and care for those in need are characteristics of a believer filled with the Spirit. God has a special love for those who show tenderness toward the poor, assuring them that they will not be forsaken during their trials. Though believers may endure challenges and suffering, their blessings remain secure in God’s promise of preservation and strength.
