What does the Bible say? The field of the poor may yield much food, but it is swept away by what? (Proverbs 13:23) hatred wind injustice locusts oppression
Biblical justice is not a matter of courts and prisons; but rather right relationships between people and communities. Over 2,000 verses address God’s call to stand against poverty and oppression. Bread for the World engages Christian citizens and churches in advocating for and with hungry people at home and abroad. Biblically we are taught that God’s grace through Jesus Christ moves us to help our neighbors. Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. (Proverbs 31:8-9)
