Be with God
Guest
Hi I havent been on this site for a very long time and I would just like to say I have always believed in god since I was little but I am trying to understand the word of god and I have started to read the bible so I can have a closer relationship with him. I have been reading Matthew and I would like some help from you to clarify what the beatitudes is about?
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Please and thank you. if it makes any difference I am in my early 20s and im started to go to a college group at my church to be around people my own age that are going threw the same issues as me.
Thank you again for your help threw my journey with God
