How do we know that Christians can be poor yet spiritually rich?

Answered in 1 source

Christians can be poor in possessions but spiritually rich through their relationship with Christ, as they possess eternal riches in Him.

The teachings of Scripture affirm that believers in Christ may often experience material poverty, yet they possess spiritual riches that enrich both their lives and the lives of others. The Apostle Paul mentions in 2 Corinthians 6:10, 'as poor yet making many rich,' illustrating that believers can contribute to the spiritual wealth of others even when they lack material wealth. This spiritual abundance stems from their faith in Christ, who, though rich, became poor for their sake, enabling them to share in the divine inheritance. The true value of a believer's life is not measured by material possessions but by their standing in Christ and the treasures stored up in heaven.
