Charity is another way to say love and compassion the author of the article "What Does the Bible Say About Charity" writes""The Bible has much to say about this second type of charity and how we are to care for the poor and needy among us. Perhaps one of the most famous passages on caring for those in need is in Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats. He says, “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me . . . I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me’” (Matthew 25:34-36, 40). Clearly, when we care for someone in need, we do the will of Christ." We must have charity in our marriages or they will not last very long. We must keep our hearts open and forgive one another. We show show charity towards each other with compassion and agape love.We must look at our spouse with eyes of Christ and shower them with love and affection and they should do the same in return so that the Holy Ghost can flow through two open hearts that magnify our Heavenly Fathers love. Goddard reminds us to be humble and look at our own faults before we are quick to judge our spouse. Jesus said remove the plank from your own eye before you try and get the speck out of someone else eye.
