RICH IN FAITH AND HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM (James 2:5-6)
The poor are God's elect, God's elite. heirs of God, and lovers of God. Rich people are ordinarily poor in faith, because they trust their riches instead of the Lord. The rich are the ones who have also characteristically oppressed the people of God. Poor people have been chosen by God to be rich in faith. A survey of the citizens of God's Kingdom would reveal that most of them have been poor. In the Kingdom they will occupy positions of wealth and glory. How foolish and how perilous it is to treat with contempt those who will one day be exalted in the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior
