Divine Election
Throughout Genesis, God proves to be loving towards the poor and those in his favor or apart of covenants. On the other hand, He is unforgiving towards those who break the covenant/those who aren't apart of it. In the beginning of Genesis, God elects particular people to follow his command. While God does reward these people, He also does not protect or punishes those who are not in His favor, and there are consequences for those in favor if they fall out of God's graces.
Under the perception that God favors the poor and the disadvantaged, how should Christians today react to instances of poverty in current events?
