What does the Bible say about helping the poor?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of caring for the poor and needy, as seen in Psalm 41:1-3, which promises blessings to those who consider the weak.

The scripture clearly states that 'Blessed is the man that considereth the poor' (Psalm 41:1). This verse highlights God's promise to those who care for those in need, assuring them of deliverance and blessings. As followers of Christ, we are called to imitate Him, who, in His poverty, made us rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Helping the poor aligns our hearts with God's heart for the marginalized.
