Justice and Compassion in God’s Economy
Explore how the prophets rebuked economic injustice and called for fairness and care for the poor in God’s kingdom.
📖 Introduction
Justice and Compassion in God's Economy
Throughout the Bible, the prophets spoke courageously against exploitation, greed, and injustice—especially toward the vulnerable, the poor, and the marginalized. Their messages remain relevant today as they remind us that God deeply values fairness, integrity, and compassionate stewardship of resources.
Amos, one of the most vivid prophetic voices, powerfully condemned the wealthy elite who exploited the poor, warning that God’s judgment awaits those who build their prosperity on the backs of others. Other prophets like Isaiah, Micah, and Jeremiah echo this urgent call: economic systems are not neutral. They must reflect the heart of a just and loving God.
As you journey through this 7-day study, you will encounter the prophetic rebukes against corrupt wealth and unethical gain, along with calls to pursue justice, generosity, and true generosity. This is a call to examine not only external systems but also your own heart and attitudes toward money and possessions.
God’s economy is not just about finances; it’s about relationships — our relationship with God, with each other, and with creation. It challenges us to live in ways that uplift the poor, challenge greed, and embody the justice that reflects God’s kingdom here on earth.
May this study deepen your understanding of how God calls His people to steward wealth with compassion, be advocates for justice, and trust Him as the ultimate provider.
