How does God lift the needy from their condition?

Answered in 1 source

God raises the needy through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and His grace.

In Psalm 113, it is declared that God lifts the needy out of the dunghill, symbolizing our own unworthy state (Psalm 113:7). This act of grace includes spiritual regeneration, whereby God breathes life into those who are dead in their sins (Ephesians 2:1-5). The promise is clear: God actively seeks the poor and needy, as seen throughout the Scriptures, and provides a way for them to be accepted and adopted into His family (Galatians 4:4-5). We see an example in the story of the lost son, where the father joyfully receives back his son who had squandered everything (Luke 15:20). This illustrates God's heart to redeem and elevate us despite our ruin.
