The Torah’s laws ensure that everyone in Israel has basic needs, such as food, because it is truly God’s will that no one starves and that everyone is provided for. Jesus teaches this in Matthew 6:25-34 and Luke 12:22-34, saying that God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers, so that He will do the same and more for His people. In Matthew 7:7-11 and Luke 11:11-13, Jesus also said that when asking the Father in faith for provision, He will provide for us because he loves us just like human fathers love their children and gives an example saying that no father would give their children a stone instead of bread, a snake instead of fish, or a scorpion instead of an egg. In addition, Jesus displays God’s provision when he feeds the 5,000 Jewish families (Matt. 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, Luke 9:10-17, John 6:1-15) and the 4,000 Gentile families (Matt. 15:32-39, Mark 8:1-10).
