"What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world. Taking care of orphans is an act of true religion."See that justice is done-help those who are oppressed, give orphans their rights, and defend widows.” Isaiah 1:17 (GNTD) "He protects the strangers who live in our land he helps widows and orphans, but takes the wicked to their ruin." Psalm 146:9 (GNTD) (Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:9) Loved and Cared for His Own Mother and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’. "Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans be fair to the needy and the helpless.” Psalm 82:3 (GNTD) Kept Them from Becoming Single Moms Twice in the book of Matthew, Jesus said, I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery. If you do, I, the Lord, will answer them when they cry out to me for help.” Exodus 22:22 (GNT) Here are a few verses that highlight what God’s Word says about orphans. From the books of the law, to the prophets, to the Psalms and the New Testament, there is a consistent message: God loves orphans, he will come to their aid, and we must care for them in society. And that is apparent throughout the Bible. That includes orphans.īut God’s priorities are different. But society rarely has anything to say about people who are weak and vulnerable. There are books written about these people, step-by-step guides that teach readers to follow in the footsteps of the powerful elite. Society has a lot to say about people who are rich, beautiful and popular.
