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." Amos 5:12, TLB

Helping the poor brings God's blessing.
"God blesses those who are kind to the poor. He helps them out of their troubles." Psalm 41:1, TLB

We honour 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." Proverbs 14:31, TLB

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

We are to act on behalf of the poor.
"I want to see a mighty flood of justice—a torrent of doing good." Amos 5:24, TLB5
