The document discusses treating strangers and foreigners with compassion. It cites several Bible passages that instruct people to love and care for strangers as they would fellow citizens, because the Israelites were once strangers in Egypt. One law and fair treatment should apply equally to citizens and foreigners. Loving strangers is presented as both an ordinance from God and required by the experience of the Israelites as strangers themselves.

1. BECAUSE IF YOU NEVER SHOW HIM LOVE HE WANT
SOJOURN AMONG YOU.
Isaiah 56:6-7also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to
the lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the lord, to be his
servants, everyone that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and
taketh hold of my covenant; 7 even them will I bring to my holy
mountain, and make them joful in my house of prayer: their burnt
offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine
house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
THE STRANGER THAT SOJOURNETH
WITH YOU “LOVE HIM!”

2. FOR YE WERE STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT.
Deuteronomy 10:17-19 For the Lord your God is a
God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a
mighty, and terrible, which regardeth not persons,
nor taketh reward:
18 He doth execute the judgement of the fatherless
and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him
food and raiment.
19 LOVE YE THEREFORE THE STRANGER:FOR
YE WERE STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT.

3. AN ORDINANCE FOREVER IN YOUR GENERATIONS
Numbers 15:15-16 One ordinance shall be both for
you of the congregation, and also for the stranger
that sojourneth with you, an ordinance forever in
your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be
before the Lord.
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for
the stranger that sojourneth with you.

4. IT IS THE LAW
Leviticus 19: 33-34 And if a stranger sojourneth with
in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be
unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love
him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of
Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
