Why does God put so much emphasis on the way we treat the poor and needy? How we treat the rich, or those of equal standing, often reflects what we hope to get from them. But because the poor can give us nothing, how we treat them reflects our true character. Do we, like Christ, give without thought of gain? We should treat the poor as we would like God to treat us. End note from the Bible #reading the book of Amos The theme of it: The wealth and powerful people of Samaria, the capital of Israel, had become, at the time, prosperous, greedy, and unjust. Illegal and immoral slavery came as the result of over-taxation and land grabbing. There was also cruelty and indifference towards the poor.
