Matthew chapter 5:3-4
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN SPIRIT FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN FOR THEY WILL BE COMFORTED
Revealing the True Identity
This is the result of God's work when the Gospel was heard. Some may continue in their present life of sin and some will stop for a moment thinking who they are in the presence of a holy God. This is the first result of the REGENERATION. Your true identity will be revealed in you. Once the Lord opened your spiritual eyes you can see yourselves spiritually bankrupt. The righteousness you boast before and serves as a ticket to heaven, this is nothing but a filthy rug before the just and holy God. Poor in spirit is not weak in faith. it is not you are weak to do something to please God but it is the true state of nothingness before God. There's nothing good in you that the Lord of Glory may accept you. This is your true condition of your spirit, helpless and hopeless because of sins that you cannot be removed by your own ability, by your own righteousness. Yes, this is your spiritual condition, you are objects of God's wrath that will be poured out in the fullness of time. Oh, this is the misery of all miseries.
The One Who Truly Acknowledging His Spiritual Misery
Yes many says "I am a sinner and we are all sinners" and never been shaken by the preaching of the Gospel. The eyes of these people are not yet been opened. Their still blind. They only see sin because of the manifestations which are experiencing in this world but they cannot see how worst this sin is that even God must go down and be like a man just to die and suffer because of that sin.Those who do not see the great value of what the Lord Jesus had done are still blind. They never see themselves poor in Spirit.
Those who fell on their knees weeping for their dead souls, those who mourn over their souls YOU ARE BLESSED. There is a hope for you. Christ died for you. The truth of the Gospel that revealed your poor condition of faith is the same Gospel that will comfort you. You are a sinner bought in the market place of sin and be His slave, His servant and His co-heir of the Kingdom of God. Yours is the Kingdom of Heaven. REPENT and BELIEVE
THE REASONS WHY YOU ARE BLESSED
1) You are blessed because God had opened your eyes about the reality of your spiritual condition
2) You are blessed because God had broken your heart that lead you to mourning
3) You are blessed because God had comforted your soul by the greatness of the Gospel
