The document discusses four categories of people in the Bible - the godly poor, godly rich, ungodly poor, and ungodly rich. It notes that one's identity and status before God is most important, not their wealth or social status. While the godly poor will be exalted, the ungodly rich will be humbled. All good gifts come from God the Father, who does not change. His greatest gift is people, specifically Jesus. The presentation encourages believers to find their identity in God rather than material things or what others think.

3. JAMES 1:9-11; 16-18
9 Let the lowly brother glory in his
exaltation,
10 but the rich in his humiliation,
because as a flower of the field he
will pass away.

4. JAMES 1:9-11; 16-18
11 For no sooner has the sun
risen with a burning heat than it
withers the grass; its flower falls,
and its beautiful appearance
perishes. So the rich man also will
fade away in his pursuits.

5. JAMES 1:9-11; 16-18
16 Do not be deceived, my
beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and
comes down from the Father of
lights, with whom there is no
variation or shadow of turning.

6. JAMES 1:9-11; 16-18
18 Of His own will He brought us
forth by the word of truth, that we
might be a kind of first fruits of
His creatures.
