Bible Study - Poor In Spirit

07.12.04 (12:29 am) [edit]

[In the works...]

Why does the Lord choose the poor? We see in the Epistle of James Chapter 2 that the Lord chooses the poor because they can be rich in faith:
Verse 5, "Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chose the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?"

God created both the rich and the poor:
"The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all." The Book of Proverbs Chapter 22, Verse 2.

When God spoke to Job, our Father told him that He respected no authority, under all that He created, and takes no regard to either rich or poor, but sees His creations seeing all of their ways and goings (Verse 21).
The Book of Job Chapter 34, Verse 19, "How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands."

The First Epistle of John Chapter 2, Verse 15,
"Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
In the first sentence in this verse, the word love in both instances is the word agapaO which means to love in a social sense, with strongs concordance number 00025:

25 agapao ag-ap-ah'-o perhaps from agan (much) (or compare 5689); to love (in a social or moral sense):--(be-)love(-ed). Compare 5368. see GREEK for 5689 see GREEK for 5368

The second sentence uses the word love as agape, with strongs concordance number 00026:

26 agape ag-ah'-pay from 25; love, i.e. affection or benevolence; specially (plural) a love-feast:--(feast of) charity(-ably), dear, love. see GREEK for 25

The First Epistle of John Chapter 2, Verse 16,
"For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
In this world, it's said that the sin of this world, in lusts and pride, are of sin, which the Father didn't create for this world. The Father is certainly against sin, so a servant of God MUST NOT bear these things in his heart.
Lust here is the Greek word epithumia, and means to set the heart upon or long for, with Strongs concordance number 01939:

1939 epithumia ep-ee-thoo-mee'-ah from 1937; a longing (especially for what is forbidden):--concupiscenc e, desire, lust (after). see GREEK for 1937

Verse 17, "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
In the last verse, the words 'for ever' are one word in the original Greek, aion (like, eon), which means 'an age' (or, a really really long time) and is strong concordance number 00165:

165 aion ahee-ohn' from the same as 104; properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future):--age, course, eternal, (for) ever(-more), (n-)ever, (beginning of the , while the) world (began, without end). Compare 5550. see GREEK for 104 see GREEK for 5550
