What does the Bible say about defending the poor and needy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible commands us to defend the poor and needy, emphasizing their protection and righteousness.

Psalm 82 explicitly instructs us to defend the poor and fatherless and do justice to the afflicted and needy. This command is an essential part of the Christian duty to reflect God's justice and mercy. In the New Testament, believers are called to emulate Christ, who defended the marginalized and preached the gospel to the poor. The recognition of our own spiritual poverty before God drives us to ensure that we advocate for those who are physically and spiritually in need.
