Why does the church stretch out her hands to the poor and needy?

Answered in 1 source

The church reaches out to the poor and needy to share the gospel, recognizing their spiritual dependence on Christ.

The outreach of the church to the poor and needy emphasizes the essence of the gospel—it is good news for those who recognize their spiritual poverty. The church is tasked with presenting Christ, the pearl of great price, to those who are aware of their need for Him. According to Scripture, the poor in spirit are blessed because they are aware of their need for grace. This act of reaching out reflects the heart of Christ who came to seek and save the lost. The church’s mission is to spread the gospel, offering hope and salvation especially to those who are most desperate for it.
