How do we know that God chooses the poor?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God has specifically chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of His kingdom.

In James 2:5, it is written, '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 emphasizes God's sovereign choice and grace towards those who are marginalized and poor. By selecting the poor, God shows that His kingdom operates on principles contrary to worldly views, underscoring the reality that spiritual wealth is found in faith rather than material riches. This election of the poor serves to reflect His glory and grace in redeeming sinners who realize their need for Him.
