Giving money to poor people is like loaning it to the Lord. The Lord will pay you back for being kind to them.
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all the things you own. Give the money to the poor people. If you do this, you will have a rich treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
“I tell you, use the things you have here in this world to make friends \{with God\}. Then, when those things are gone, you will be welcomed in that home that continues forever.
When Jesus heard this, he said to the leader, “But there is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give the money to the poor people. You will have a reward in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
Zacchaeus said to the Lord (Jesus), “I want to do good. I will give half of my money to the poor. If I have cheated any person, I will pay that person back four times more!”
The believers decided that they would all try to help their brothers and sisters who lived in Judea. Each believer planned to send them as much as he could.
They all received the things they needed. Everyone that owned fields (land) or houses sold them for money. They brought the money
and gave it to the apostles. Then each person was given the things he needed.
I really don’t need to write to you about this help for God’s people.
Suppose a believer is rich enough to have all the things he needs. He sees his brother \{in Christ\} who is poor and does not have the things he needs. What if the believer who has things does not help the poor brother? Then the believer who has the things he needs does not have God’s love in his heart.
