Notes

God blesses those who admit their weaknesses and seek strength from God. The value system of God’s kingdom is radically different from the world’s value system, in which power and strength represent success.

The main theme of the great sermon of Jesus is that those who repent and enter the kingdom of God will live in a truly righteous way.
