How do we know that God chooses the poor and humble?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture illustrates that God often reveals His grace to the poor and lowly rather than the mighty.

In James 2:5, we read, 'Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom?' This principle is evident in the birth announcement of Christ to the shepherds, who were considered lowly in society. These examples demonstrate that God's kingdom is built on grace and faith rather than status. Throughout the Bible, we see figures like Moses and Gideon being called while performing humble tasks. This reaffirms that no one's social standing or wealth disqualifies them from receiving God's love and salvation, showing that God delights to reveal His truths to those who are humble of heart.
