PRESENTATION OUTLINE

WE NEED TO BE HUMBLE BECAUSE WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT
That all of our blessing come from the grace of God.
TO HAVE POVERTY OF SPIRIT MEANS
TO BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND OPEN TO THE WORD OF GOD
HE WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF IS ABLE TO FRAIL NATURE,
REPENT, AND TO ALLOW THE GRACE OF GOD TO LEAD US TO CONVERSION.
FOR PRIDE BRINGS
ANGER AND THE SEEKING OF REVENGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS OFFENDED

We must not be self-satisfied or proud in our hearts
, thinking we don’t really need God. If we are, God cannot bless us.
THE THINGS WE ACQUIRE, THE PRESTIGIOUS NAME WE HAVE,
THE POWER WE HAVE OVER PEOPLE; ALL OF THESE IN THE LAST ANALYSIS ARE WORTHLESS

IT IS AN HONEST CONFESSION THAT WE ARE SINFUL AND UTTERLY WITHOUT MORAL
VIRTUES NEEDED TO PLEASE GOD. IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF ARROGANCE

OUR SALVATION AND FUTURE ARE
FOUND BY TRUSTING AND OBEYING GOD
