Lesson 55: We Must Help The Poor – Part 2

INTRODUCTION: In the previous study we discussed the urgent need to help the poor so that they do not fall prey to dubious philosophers and self-seeking politicians. We concluded by saying that since anyone who has not got Jesus is poor. Helping the poor really means giving them Jesus Christ. If they have Jesus, they will not need communism since they have got Elohim they will not need either socialism or capitalism and since they have Cherubim and Seraphim to serve them. Today we shall look at the blessing waiting those who help poor.

1. The Bible says those who help the poor shall be blessed indeed – Ps. 41:1, Prov. 28:27, Isa. 58:6-11, Matt. 10:42, Luke 12:32-34, Dan.12:3, Matt.25:23, Luke 6:35, Rom.2:10, Eph. 6:8, John 4:36, Colossians 3:23-25.

2. Several other blessings are listed in the scripture. Some of such passages are – Prov. 29:14, Jere. 22:16, Prov. 19:17, Matt.19:21, Prov.14:21.

3. The greatest reward of all is God himself. To have Him as your reward is surely more than anything else in the world – Gen. 15:1, Isa.62:11, Revelation 22:12, II Timothy 4:8,
I Peter 5:4.
