(KJV) Proverbs 14:31
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
HE WHO OPPRESSES THE POOR / PROVERBS 14:31
Anyone who mistreats or takes advantage of a poor person offends God and shows hatred for Him. All people are made in God’s image (with the capacity to reflect His life and character, Genesis 9:6), and God has a special sense of mercy and concern for the poor (Deuteronomy 15:11). The New Testament reveals that the gospel (the “good news” about forgiveness and new life through faith in Jesus Christ) must be proclaimed to the poor (Matthew 11:5; Acts 4:13; James 2:5). Jesus Christ even identified Himself with the poor (Luke 2:7, 2 Corinthians 8:9: Philippians 2:7).
