The concept of "cared" in the Bible is often associated with God's providence, compassion, and the responsibility of believers to care for one another. The term itself may not appear frequently in the exact form "cared," but the underlying principles are woven throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of love, compassion, and stewardship.

Divine Care

God's care for His creation is a central theme in the Bible. From the very beginning, God demonstrates His care by providing for the needs of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8-9). This divine care extends to all of creation, as seen in passages like Psalm 104:14-15, where God provides food for both man and beast.

In the New Testament, Jesus emphasizes God's care for His people, assuring them of their value and His provision. In Matthew 6:26, Jesus says, "Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" This passage highlights the assurance that God cares deeply for His children and will meet their needs.

Human Responsibility to Care

The Bible also places a strong emphasis on the responsibility of believers to care for one another. This is rooted in the commandment to love one's neighbor as oneself (Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39). The early church exemplified this care in Acts 2:44-45, where believers shared their possessions to ensure that no one among them was in need.

The Apostle Paul further instructs believers to care for one another in Galatians 6:2, "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This call to bear each other's burdens is a practical expression of Christian love and community.

Care for the Vulnerable

Scripture repeatedly calls for special care for the vulnerable, including widows, orphans, and the poor. James 1:27 states, "Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." This verse underscores the importance of active compassion and service to those in need.

The Old Testament law also reflects God's concern for the vulnerable, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:18, where God is described as one who "executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing."

Conclusion

The biblical concept of "cared" encompasses both divine providence and human responsibility. It is a reflection of God's character and a mandate for believers to emulate His love and compassion in their relationships with others. Through caring for one another, believers fulfill the law of Christ and bear witness to the transformative power of the Gospel.(imp. & p. p.) of Care.1247. diakoneo -- to serve, minister
