THE KINGDOM BELONGS TO THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN SPIRIT:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
(Matthew 5:3)

The world honors those with material wealth. God chooses the poor of the world and makes
them rich in faith:

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world
rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which He hath promised to them that
love Him? (James 2:5)
And He lifted up his eyes on His disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for
yours is the Kingdom of God. (Luke 6:20)

THE POOR ARE RICH AND THE RICH ARE POOR:
The world emphasizes the spirit of self reliance, self- expression, and self-improvement. But
God approves those who are poor in spirit who realize they have no ability to save themselves, to
satisfy their spiritual needs, or to solve their own problems.
