Matthew 5:3
King James Version
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
I was taught about the "poor in spirit", in Catholic school.
But the teachers did not elaborate.
All that time, I had the wrong notion about the poor in spirit.
Everything became clear when GOD made me born again.
SPIRIT led me to who they really were:
those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant
the humble, who rate themselves insignificant
people who are hopeless
people who depend only on him
those who know they are spiritually in need
those who realize their spiritual poverty
those who recognize they are spiritually helpless
people who know they have great spiritual needs
the humble-minded
Humble men
you’re at the end of your rope
those who recognize they are spiritually helpless
who realize their spiritual poverty
those who are spiritually needy
Those who know there is nothing good in themselves
those who are poor and realize their need for him
those who know that they need him
That was a relief to know.
I could not bear to be wrong about Scripture.
Mercifully, SPIRIT guided me, from another post.
Which one are you?
Are you financially poor?
Sick, or disabled?
Poor in spirit?
Are you rich?
