Poor

Scripture commands God's people to care for the poor through generosity, fair treatment, and practical support, reflecting God's heart for the vulnerable.

Overview

The Bible consistently calls believers to compassion toward the poor. God's law protected the vulnerable from exploitation and required provision through gleaning laws, fair lending practices, and community support. This reflects God's character and His call for His people to demonstrate justice and mercy.

Key Scriptures

"The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all" (Proverbs 22:2, ESV). "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest" (Leviticus 19:9, ESV). "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him" (Exodus 22:25, ESV).

Application

Believers should actively seek opportunities to help those in financial need through generous giving, fair business practices, and advocacy for justice in their communities.
