This document presents several Bible passages about enduring trials and hardships in this life, as well as the hope of eternal life. It contrasts the troubles of this world with the promise of heaven, where there will be no more suffering, death or sorrow. Several passages warn that those who are unprepared or unrighteous will face eternal punishment, while the righteous will receive eternal life and rest from their labors. The document encourages preparing for heaven by living as a child of God.
One who is poor in spirit realizes that they have nothing, they are nothing, except what God gives them and makes them. Jesus demonstrates being poor in spirit to us when he left heaven and came to earth.
Matthew 5:3
