Introduction
Most people in the world today live in poverty. They often face corruption at all levels of society and suffer unfair treatment in all aspects of life. In 2003, the World Bank classified more than 4 billion people as "poor" and spent less than $2 a day. The five richest countries in the world receive 85% of the world's total income, and the five poorest countries receive 1.4% of global income.

The slave was released, the debt was cancelled, and the ancestral property was returned to in the original family, Jesus announced the release of sin and all its consequences, including poverty, corruption, and injustice. Isaiah 11:4 says: “Only God, righteous, will judge the poor. With justice, he will be for the earth. Poor people make decisions. “

Biblical justice involves the integrity of individuals, communities, and the universe by adhering to goodness and justice. It stands in the center of true religion.
