Jesus tells us to help others... in Matthew 25:35-36 He says this "I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was alone and away from home, and you invited me into your house. I was without clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me."
