       I think it’s important to be conducting business off of the views of everyone, not just the highly educated. You get the drift though and how this could relate in the same way to wealth within the church. Why is this sin, though? Why does God see it as sin to favor the wealthy? It is because Christianity is offered to all, no matter what one’s monetary status is. Jesus said, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32, ESV). Both the wealthy and those with less are sinners. We’ve all sinned and are in need of a Savior. The only Savior available to take care of our problems is God the Creator, Jesus Christ, who came to the earth and paid the sacrifice acceptable to God for our sins. It is only through his blood that we are made righteous. So, people no matter their wealth have trusted in Jesus. That’s why the people with less are to be welcomed as equals.
