Matthew 5:42 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Jesus clearly taught that a loan should be looked upon as a potential gift. There are many statements in Proverbs against borrowing, lending and surety (Prov. 6:1; 11:15; 22:7; 27:13). While we are warned of the dangers of borrowing and lending, Jesus clearly emphasizes that the believer ought to be willing to lend to those in need. Even the beggar is to be ministered to through the provision of giving to “him that asketh thee.” This statement certainly forms the basis of all Christian charity, and provides the proper social application of the message of the gospel to the physical as well as the spiritual needs of man. The Scriptures say, if we do these things, we will never have need. God rewards us openly for the good we do secretly.
