Bible Verses About Stealing From The Poor
God’s Heart for the Poor
As believers, we must recognize that God has a special concern for the poor and disadvantaged. The Bible consistently reminds us that He cares deeply about those who are vulnerable and in need. This divine compassion compels us to act with kindness and generosity towards the less fortunate within our communities.

When we align our actions with God’s will, we create a more just and compassionate world for everyone.
