Answer Details
In His sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that the poor in spirit are blessed because they would inherit the kingdom of heaven. By "poor in spirit," Jesus was referring to those who recognize their spiritual poverty and their need for God. He was saying that those who humbly acknowledge their need for God will be rewarded with eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. This statement is part of what is commonly known as the Beatitudes, which are a series of blessings pronounced by Jesus on those who follow God's ways.
