What does the Bible say about being humble and poor in spirit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the humble and poor in spirit will inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3).

In Matthew 5:3, Jesus proclaims, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' This phrase encompasses the need for humility and an acknowledgment of one's spiritual poverty before God. Those who recognize their utter dependence on God's grace are granted entrance into the kingdom, as it is through humility that we approach the throne of grace. This principle underscores the necessary attitude for anyone seeking a right relationship with God, aligning with the teachings of historic Reformed theology, which emphasizes grace and faith over works.
