For Christians, if someone does not have compassion, how can the love of God be in him/her?
- The poor are blessed and the kingdom of God is theirs
- The poor are waiting for justice
Christians believe they have a duty to attend to the demands of justice and peace. They must show respect for people, since God loves the world, the whole human family.
Christians believe that every single human being has dignity and should be respected.
The human being is a sacred, unique being created by God in his image and likeness. They should be treated with love: 'love thou neighbour'
Loving you neighbour includes actively caring for those in need. Jesus explains this in THE PARABLE OF THE SHEEP AND GOATS...
IT TEACHES US THAT:
- Love of neighbour is essential to what it means to be a Christian
- Love for Jesus is expressed through love and service to the needy
- Human beings have a responsibility to do their duty for those in need
