As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series, he’ll be explaining that to be poor in spirit is to recognize your utter spiritual bankruptcy before God. It’s understanding that you have absolutely nothing of worth to offer God. Being poor in spirit is admitting that, because of your sin, you are completely destitute spiritually and can do nothing to deliver yourself from your dire situation. No matter your status in life, you must recognize your spiritual poverty before you can come to God in faith to receive the salvation He offers.
