The Upside Down sayings of Jesus –
why does being poor in spirit lead to happiness?
“I don’t understand what I do. For what I want to do I don’t do, but what I hate to do, I do! …I know that nothing good lives in my sinful nature. I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out… There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…The mind set on the Spirit is life and peace” Romans 7 and 8
