"Happy are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
“There's only one kind of sorrow that
brings life and that is Godly sorrow, which leads you to ...repentance; therefore, we can conclude that it is sorrow over
...sin that is the issue. Godly sorrow, It is Godly sorrow, sorrow over sin. The sorrow of the world is useless. It works
death where Godly sorrow works repentance, which brings salvation, which brings comfort. That's the whole idea. That's
the key. Godly sorrow is linked to repentance and repentance is linked to sin.”

"Happy
are those who know they are spiritually poor." Matthew 5:3 (Step 1)
“Any Messiah who comes along and proposes to replace self-reliance with childlike God-reliance,
and self-confidence with submissive God-confidence, and self-determination with sovereign grace, and self-esteem with magnificent
mercy for the unworthy—that Messiah is going to be a threat to the religion of self-admiration. That religion has dominated
the world ever since Adam and Eve fell in love with the image of their own independent potential when they it saw reflected
back to them in the eye of the serpent: ‘You will not die; you will be like God.’"
