188 Blessed are the Poor in Spirit - Matthew 5:3 (June 4, 2023) - a podcast by FBC Belle Chasse

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit Matthew 5:3

Main idea: Coming to God requires brokenness over our sin.

To be “poor in spirit” means to be broken over sin and fully aware of our need for a Savior.

Without spiritual poverty we are incapable of receiving God's grace.

The spiritually poor man… is separated from himself (Psalm 131:2); is dependent upon Jesus (Philippians 4:13); is always aware of his shortcomings (2 Cor. 12:9-10); is submissive to God's correction (Galatians 2:20; 1 Corinthians 15:10); is much in prayer (Colossians 4:12); receives salvation on God’s terms (Philippians 4:12); is eternally grateful (1 Timothy 1:12-17).

The reward for spiritual poverty is a place in God’s kingdom.
