‘Rich And Poor People In This World.’
Proverbs 19:6-7.
This passage shows me that in this World system neither rich people nor poor people can be happy outside of Jesus Christ.
a) Many people beg favours from a rich ruler. This ruler may have riches but no peace or joy.
b) The person who gives gifts has many false friends.
c) A poor person is shunned by all their relatives.
d) The “friends” of the poor person avoid that person.
e) The poor person calls after their relatives and “friends” but they are gone.
(Through this QT I fully understand that both the Rich And Poor People In This World desperately need the Love of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ)

‘Living And Doing As A True Believer.’
John 13:15
a) Christ has set us an Example.
b) We are to live in the same way that Christ lived.
c) We are to do for others what Christ has done for us.
(This Second one reminds me that I should be Living And Doing As A True Believer)

Chris.
The person who gives gifts has many false friends. This statement of the Scripture should make us consider several things. Firstly, if we want to give gifts and have a gift from God of giving, we need to give discreetly for God’s Glory. Secondly, if we are a True Believer we do not treat specially or just hang around generous people with our wrong motive. Thirdly, we should never acts as self made “agents” on behalf of the poor people in front of the rich people.
