Good news to the poor bible verse

Here are a few Bible verses that bring good news to the poor:

  1. Luke 4:18-19: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." (Jesus is quoting Isaiah 61:1-2, which is a prophecy about the Messiah bringing good news to the poor.)
  2. Isaiah 61:1-2: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;" (This is the original prophecy that Jesus is quoting in Luke 4:18-19.)
  3. Psalm 68:5-6: "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the lonely in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land." (This psalm speaks of God's care for the poor and vulnerable, and His desire to bring freedom and restoration to those who are oppressed.)
  4. Proverbs 22:22: "Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them." (This proverb warns against taking advantage of the poor and vulnerable, and reminds us that God will ultimately vindicate their cause.)
  5. James 2:5: "Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?" (This verse reminds us that God has a special place in His heart for the poor, and that they are rich in faith and heirs to the kingdom of heaven.)

These verses remind us that God is a God of justice and compassion, who cares deeply about the poor and vulnerable. They encourage us to prioritize their needs and to work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
