What does the Bible say about who God regards?

Answered in 1 source

God regards the man who is poor in spirit, of a contrite heart, and trembles at His word.

In Isaiah 66:1-2, God speaks of His sovereignty, declaring that He cannot be contained by human hands or temples. He states He regards the man who is poor in spirit, which signifies recognizing one's spiritual poverty and need. This person is not full of pride, but humbly acknowledges their sinful state. A contrite spirit is one that feels brokenness and remorse for sin, understanding it cannot earn God's favor. The man who trembles at God’s word demonstrates a profound respect and awe for God's authority, realizing the gravity of the divine message.
Scripture References: Isaiah 66:1-5, 2 Chronicles 2:5
