Matthew 5:3

God hates pride and arrogance. When we come to the realization that we can do nothing but with Him nothing is impossible and we humble ourselves before Him He will show us life and that life will be blessed.

blessed: This Greek word is derived from the root mak, which means “large” or “lengthy,” and means “fortunate” or “happy.” The Greek word was used in Greek literature, in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the OT), and in the NT to describe the kind of happiness that comes from receiving divine favor. The word can be rendered happy. In the NT it is usually passive; God is the One who is blessing or favoring the person.

Matthew 5:3

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
