"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." matthew 5:3

He then addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity—greedy, dishonest, adulterous—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.’ But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’ I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” luke 18: 9-14

"Jesus says the people who realize [that] they are bankrupt spiritually are truly blessed. And it's only this realization that turns them to God. You cannot fulfill what you are created to do and be without God's grace. Jesus rips away from believers the self-delusion that any person is capable of acquiring a condition of blessedness on their own. Jesus aims to produce in you a real poverty of spirit."
