How Do the Homeless Show that God is Good?

Here's a conversation I had with a friend of mine that I thought would be of worth to share with all b/c I enjoy and appreciate this man's mind that asks good Q's and challenges me a follower of my Master, Jesus Christ. Here was his Q in response to me saying that the homeless show God's goodness.

James: "What exactly about the homeless speaks the Lord's goodness?"

Me: "From what I undestand in the Bible the homeless showcase God's goodness in that they are who God holds dearest and nearest to His heart. Because of this they are who He desires that His people would honor, love, and provide care for in His Kingdom...they're the greatest in His eyes not the least...
...If God is as great and glorious and powerful as the Bible says He is and then for Him to have the homeless be who His affections are so deeply directed towards and who He desires to serve, that makes my jaw drop b/c that's not how humans tend to think. We tend to be the opposite...get greatness, get glory, get power then get the hell away from the homeless. That's not God's way. He is good even though tragically a lot of times His people aren't...

...God spoke it clearest through His servant James,

"Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." (James 1:22)

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." (James 1:27)

...That's how the homeless show God is good. It's pretty amazing, really."

My friend James pushed back,

"So let me ask you this: would the eradication of homelessness represent a moral evil? Which is to say, working toward affordable housing for all, as a lot of ministries do."

Here's my response...

"Logic would say, 'If the homeless show the goodness of God then the removal of them and their state of living would be evil and therefore we should leave them and homelessness be.' However, St. Paul spoke on this issue in the context of discussing sin. Some Christians had this thought that if they sin more then they're showing God's goodness more because He is gracious and forgiving and therefore can show more grace and forgiveness. But that is a perverted use of His grace and forgiveness. We are given grace and given forgiveness that we may live joyfully righteous in response...

...St. Paul told the Roman Christians in a letter God's Spirit inspired him to write, "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means!" (Romans 5:20-6:2) So I'll piggy back on that and say shall we leave the homeless be and forsake them that God's goodness may be showcased? By no means! May the abundance we have be the portion that the homeless glean from."

Thanks so much James! I appreciate you very much n hope this will point you to deep affection and joy in God, ultimately through Christ :)
