The Bible is clear: God commands us to love the stranger, care for the vulnerable, and show hospitality.
-
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:2)
-
“I was a stranger and you invited me in.” (Matthew 25:35)
-
“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:34)
Christians cannot remain silent when neighbours are at risk of losing their homes and families. To follow Christ is to defend the dignity of every human being, regardless of nationality.
