Looking back through history we can see that God’s heart is overwhelmingly for the poor.
The Bible contains more than 300 verses on the poor, social justice, and God's deep concern for both.
Jesus is the advocate for the poor
The voice for the voiceless
He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing." Deuteronomy 10:18
The biographies of Jesus depict him repeatedly reaching out to those at the bottom of the social pyramid--poor people, women, Samaritans, lepers, children, prostitutes and tax collectors.
If the Lord who we serve and try to model our lives after cares so much for the poor, then so should we!
Would the world look the way it does if all believers helped the poor?
be inspired..
