The Bible emphasizes the importance of considering the poor, as seen in Psalm 41:1, which states, 'Blessed is he who considers the poor.'

The Bible teaches that considering the poor is a hallmark of true righteousness and compassion, particularly in the person of Jesus Christ, who is the 'blessed man'. Psalm 41:1 states, 'Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.'

Our Lord Jesus, the epitome of the blessed man, displayed this by caring for the needy and fulfilling the law in perfect righteousness.
