"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
- Humility: It signifies a humble and contrite heart, acknowledging one's spiritual poverty and dependence on God. It is the opposite of arrogance, pride, and self-sufficiency.
- Recognition of Need: Those who are 'poor in spirit' recognize their need for God's grace, forgiveness, and guidance in their lives. They understand that they cannot achieve righteousness or salvation on their own merits.
- Openness to God: Being 'poor in spirit' implies a willingness to submit to God's will, to be open to His teachings, and to be receptive to the transformation of one's character by the Holy Spirit."
