Matthew 5:1-5

“Blessed” means more than happiness

Matthew 5:3

Luke 5:4

Luke 5:8b

Romans 7:15

There is nothing we can do to make ourselves spiritually acceptable to God

Luke 5:5: "God blesses those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them." (New Living Translation)

Quick Review:

-We must embrace our helpless condition before Jesus

-We mourn and feel guilty of what we've done and turn to Jesus and ask Him in our lives and ask for forgiveness for where we've failed Him

-We can then start living for Him, and being meek/gentle/humble to the needs and desires of others.
