The Bible and
Poverty |
Money
isn't everything.
"Some rich people are
poor, and some poor people have great wealth! Being kidnapped
and held for ransom never
worries the
poor man!"
Proverbs 13:7-8, TLB
While the
world may honour the rich—don't be
surprised if God honours the poor.
"Listen to me, dear brothers:
God has chosen poor people to be
rich in faith, and the Kingdom of
Heaven is theirs, for that is the
gift God has promised to all those
who love Him."
James 2:5, TLB
We should
be eager to help the poor.
"The only thing they
did suggest was that we must
always remember to help the poor,
and I, too, was eager for that."
Galatians 2:10, TLB
Ignoring the
needy is a sin.
"For many and great are
your sins. I know them all so
well. You are the enemies of
everything good; you take bribes;
you refuse justice to the poor."

Helping
the poor brings God's blessing.

kind to the poor. He helps them
out of their troubles."

God by caring for the poor.
"Anyone who oppresses
the poor is insulting God who made
them. To help the poor is to
honour God."

The
church should help to support the
poor who have no families.
"The church should care
for widows who are poor and alone
in the world, if they are looking
to God for His help and spending
much time in prayer; but not if
they are spending their time
running around gossiping, seeking
only pleasure and thus ruining
their souls."
I Timothy 5:5-6, TLB
God
promises great rewards for those
who help the poor.
"I want you to share
your food with the hungry and
bring right into your own homes
those who are helpless, poor, and
destitute. Clothe those who are
cold and don't hide from relatives
who need your help. If you do
these things, God will shed His
own glorious light upon you. He
will heal you; your godliness will
lead you forward, and goodness
will be a shield from behind…
.Feed the hungry! Help those in
trouble! Then your light will
shine out from the darkness, and
the darkness around you shall be
as bright as day. And the Lord
will guide you continually, and
satisfy you with all good things,
and keep you healthy too."
Isaiah 58:7-11, TLB
