How do we know that the gospel is for the poor?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is for the poor in spirit, as Jesus proclaimed that He was sent to preach good news to the poor.

In Luke 4:18, Jesus declares His mission to 'preach the gospel to the poor.' This refers not solely to those who are financially impoverished but rather highlights a spiritual poverty. Those who are poor in spirit recognize their need for salvation and understand their total dependence on God's grace. This call to the poor aligns with the biblical message that God's kingdom is accessible to the humble and contrite, illustrating that salvation is not earned by merit but received through faith in Christ, who came to heal broken hearts and deliver captives from sin.
