Understanding Hope and Poverty, A Biblical Perspective
“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” (Romans 3:10-12) “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”(Romans 6:23)
”I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”(John 10:10”May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.”(Romans 15:13)
‘The Lord sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.’
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

He who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.' (Psalm 104:32)

Who has done this and carried it through...? I, the Lord--the first of them and the last--I am He." (Isaiah 41:6)

So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." (Genesis 3:23)

He who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.' (Psalm 104:32)
