How does God's choice of the poor challenge societal norms?

Answered in 1 source

God's choice of the poor challenges societal norms by upending the values of the world, demonstrating that true worth is found in faith rather than wealth or status.

In His sovereignty, God chooses the poor and despised of this world to be rich in faith, countering the common societal tendency to value wealth, status, and outward appearances. This challenges us to reevaluate our own criteria for worth and acceptance, urging us to align our perspectives with God's kingdom principles. By choosing those who are not esteemed by the world, God demonstrates that true glory is found in His grace, where humility and reliance on Him are paramount. This divine choice encourages believers to seek and uplift those whom society overlooks, fostering a community marked by grace and mutual love.
