Galatians 2:10 ESV

Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

The Bible wants us to remember the poor, what does it mean?

I think it means to help and provide the poor around us their daily bread, to meet their need for this day in God's name, as in Matthew 25

Matthew 25:34-36, 40 ESV

Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,  I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'  And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

The Bible says whoever give to the poor lend it to God, He will repay. And even our wealth and ability to make wealth comes from God, anyway.
