It could be said that since the beginning of society there has been concern for those most in need and therefore various initiatives have been created to improve their conditions. In the times of Jesus Christ we can see the importance of social work strengthened, many of his teachings are based in this sense, on love of neighbor, on caring for those who need us most.

For Jesus, helpless people were of the utmost importance, in fact there is a verse that should call our attention enough and study it carefully, Matthew 25 is fine:
34 Then the King will say to those on his right: Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
36 I was naked, and you covered me; sick, and you visited me; in jail, and you came to me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and nourish you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 And when did we see you a stranger, and took you in, or naked, and covered you?
39 Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?

40 And the King answering, will say to them: Truly I say to you that as soon as you did it to one of these my least brothers, you did it to me.

One of the ways you can present the kingdom of God here on earth is through social work.
