Who is my neighbor?

Hello, Hope your Wednesday is cool!

When I was a small child I used to think a neighbor is that person who lives next door. Only to realize it is more than that. What about you? Have you ever imagined who a neighbor is? Or your thinking is like mine then? Well, Today I would like to tell you why relying on God to get to understand who a neighbor is and what are your duties towards a neighbor.

When Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” He responded with the story of the Good Samaritan, showing us that our neighbor isn’t just the person who lives near us, but anyone in need whom we can help. In Luke 10:27-37, Jesus teaches that loving our neighbor means showing mercy and kindness to everyone, regardless of their background or situation.

Your neighbor could be the person next door, a coworker, a stranger on the street, or even someone very different from you. Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39), and the Good Samaritan demonstrated this love by stopping to help a hurting man when others passed by.

In Galatians 5:14, Paul reminds us, “The entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Loving your neighbor means caring deeply, acting compassionately, and offering help where you can.

Sometimes, your neighbor may be someone going through hard times, loneliness, or injustice. God calls you to be His hands and feet, reaching out in love and kindness. 1 John 3:17 says, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?”

So, your neighbor is anyone God places in your life who needs love and care. When you love your neighbor, you live out God’s heart and bring His light to the world.

Thank you.
