What does the Bible say about spiritual poverty and riches?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes believers as spiritually poor yet making many rich, illustrating the paradox of faith.

In 2 Corinthians 6:10, the Apostle Paul contrasts the believer's spiritual poverty with the ability to make many rich, emphasizing a deep mystery of the Christian life. Believers may lack material possessions, exemplifying dependence on God, yet they possess profound spiritual wealth in Christ. This reflects the nature of the Gospel, where believers, though they seem lowly, are enriched in spiritual matters, having received the fullness of grace through Jesus. They become instruments through whom the riches of God are shared with others despite their earthly limitations.
