Explain what Christians believe about their responsibility for other people:
Christians believe that they are responsible for what happens to others in this day, if someone is hurt they know it is their duty to help them. That is true Christianity. They looked up to Jesus and saw what he did. He was, and still is a role model to Christians today. He encourages us to help those in need.
Jesus was an inspiration to all but he also was inspired in the work he did. He looked at the Old Testament scriptures and they inspired him. An example of an old scripture would be in Deuteronomy 15v11 its says “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.” This meaning of this quote is that the poor will never get what they need so we need to help them in doing so. Another example form the book of Isaiah it says “Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?” This is a quote showing that if you see someone you should cover them; if they are hungry you should feed them. These are good examples are of what Christians are trying to show today. Also when Jesus wants us to help others he doesn’t just say it, he acts to his words and he showed us how to help someone, an example of this is the healing of blind bartimaues, he healed the sick to show the way that Christians should behave.
