An important aspect of loving our neighbor is to care for those who are needy, which includes the fatherless, orphans, widows and those in prison. In Matthew 25, a deciding factor in whether we’re considered a sheep or a goat, is to make sure we don’t neglect those around us. Are we developing a genuine love for our neighbor, as Christ did?
