Today we will be dealing with 20 Bible verses about supporting one another. These scriptural verses will teach us why it is essential to be generous to others. There is something we have in abundance that others lack. We might just be fulfilling the will of God by extending our hands of generosity to others.
Supporting one another means helping one another. How do we claim to love God when we don’t love our neighbors? How can we claim we love God when we don’t help our neighbors? Christianity is not just a name. It is a character of God. And the scripture made us understand that love is the nature of God. That’s why He gave His only begotten Son to the world to die for the sin of mankind.
Supporting one another should be our core duty as believers. We must help other people rise. Supporting one another doesn’t mean we have to approve of evil or try to cover it. We should not be a hypocrite when it comes to helping or supporting other people.
The type of help or support we render to others should not be something that will question our faith as believers. It is not that we should hide the sin of other people just because we want to support them. Supporting one another is simply helping one another to rise and live the true creed of our potential.
If your neighbor is into one business or another, why not support them? If they sell something, why do you keep buying the same item from another buyer? You must learn to support one another. We have curated a list of 20 Bible verses about supporting one another.
