Matthew 5:3
Easy-to-Read Version
3 “Great blessings belong to those who know they are spiritually in need.
God’s kingdom belongs to them.
Hi, the correct translation for Matthew 5:3 is expressed as people being aware of their need for spirituality, this is a soul-searching acknowledgement that leads us to God. In this way we can “find” our real purpose in life. So, under this understanding what passage in the Bible helps us connect to God?
Isaiah 57:15
Easy-to-Read Version
15 God is high and lifted up.
He lives forever.
His name is holy.
He says, “I live in a high and holy place,
but I also live with people who are humble and sorry for their sins.
I will give new life to those who are humble in spirit.
I will give new life to those who are sorry for their sins.
WHY IS THE NEED TO ACKNOWLDEGE SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT NECESSARY FOR ALL PEOPLE?
1 Corinthians 2:14
Living Bible
14 But the man who isn’t a Christian can’t understand and can’t accept these thoughts from God, which the Holy Spirit teaches us. They sound foolish to him because only those who have the Holy Spirit within them can understand what the Holy Spirit means. Others just can’t take it in.
1 Corinthians 2:14
Easy-to-Read Version
14 People who do not have God’s Spirit do not accept the things that come from his Spirit. They think these things are foolish. They cannot understand them, because they can only be understood with the Spirit’s help.
