What does the Bible say about Christ becoming poor for our sake?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible, in 2 Corinthians 8:9, states that Christ, though rich, became poor so that we might become rich through His poverty.

In 2 Corinthians 8:9, Paul explains the profound truth that our Lord Jesus Christ, who was infinitely rich in glory and honor, willingly chose to become poor for our sake. This act was not merely economic but involved a complete surrender of His heavenly privileges. Jesus entered into poverty in every sense—emotionally, socially, and spiritually—so that through His impoverishment, we might receive the great riches of grace and redemption. His humility and self-sacrifice are essential themes in understanding the depth of His love and the extent of our salvation.
