Question 30 NECO • 2020 • CHRISTIAN_RELIGIOUS_STUDIES • objective

John is a Christian volunteer who can allocate a limited amount of money to either (i) a local soup kitchen that feeds 200 homeless people weekly, or (ii) an overseas missionary project that provides clean water to a village of 500 people. Both needs are equally urgent. According to the biblical principle of loving one's neighbor (Matthew 22:39) and the teaching that love of neighbor is the fulfillment of love of God (1 John 4:21), which activity should John prioritize, and why?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. He should prioritize the local soup kitchen, because loving the immediate neighbor in need is the primary expression of love of God; the overseas project, while valuable, is secondary.
B. He should prioritize the overseas missionary project, because providing clean water to 500 people addresses a larger need; the local soup kitchen, though important, is less urgent.
C. He should prioritize the soup kitchen only if the missionary project can be delayed, because the biblical principle emphasizes immediate physical needs over long‑term infrastructure projects.
D. He should split his resources equally between the soup kitchen and the missionary project, because both needs are equally urgent and biblical love calls for balanced generosity.
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
He should prioritize the local soup kitchen, because loving the immediate neighbor in need is the primary expression of love of God; the overseas project, while valuable, is secondary.
