The Grace of GOD provides heavenly felicity
Matthew 5:3-12
Most of us are familiar with the B-attitudes of the book of Matthew. Some of us may be able to recite some of them from memory. But how many of us understand this teaching that JESUS gave us on that mountain. I am going to do my best to explain these wonderful passages of scripture so that when we read them, they will be read with clarity. We will come to know just how GOD’s Grace is the Blessing that is required for us to enjoy HIS heavenly felicity.
- Recognition of being spiritually helpless: Eph. 2:1, 5; Col. 2:13
- Mourn: There are various reasons why humanity will go through a mourning period such as the loss of family or friend; employment; or home. Comfort can be provided for these. However, there is spiritual mourning that so many people are vexed with known as depression. Comfort is obtained through the deliverance received from the Deliverer CHRIST JESUS. Prescription medication or self-medicating is only a bandaid. But the worse type of mourning will be found here: Matt. 24:29-31 because those who witness this action will be those who have been left behind to find no comfort. And those who will be gathered will be those who believed and received JESUS as their LORD and their Savior.
- Meek: Mild temperament; patient; humble; unselfish.
- Hunger and thirst after righteousness. To be in right-standing with GOD through CHRIST JESUS and to find complete satisfaction in HIM.
- Merciful: The willingness and characterization of being a help to others. Showing justice, fidelity, and pity.
- Pure thoughts: Free from having in the heart’s mind immorality, free from being tarnished by how the world thinks and its actions.
- Peacemakers: Those that make peace by reconciliation.
- Persecuted for obeying GOD: To afflict with injury and or to harass with unjust punishment or penalties for a supposed offense; hatred exhibited due to a malignant heart.
- Insulted: Abused.
Now, in the hope that I have clarified just what the text of scripture is teaching us. Maybe the next time these verses of scripture are read and or studied, we will ask the FATHER to help us in these areas where we fall short. Because if you notice the reward we all want to enjoy Enjoy the rewards while we are still mortal instead of waiting after the resurrection.

Luke 1:28, 30; 2:40; 4:6, 22
To know that we are in the Grace of GOD is to know that GOD has favored us. That we have been endued with HIS Grace. Know that the LORD our GOD is with us. Cease being fearful and know that we have found Grace, that we are free from our sins, and our past. We have found favor and loving-kindness with GOD that is in abundance.
Grow up in all things that are in CHRIST JESUS with the Holy Spirit giving to us His power and resources to do so. Become strong in our spirit being filled with the Wisdom of GOD and getting to understand. Take notice of GOD’s grace in your life.
GOD has given to us HIS authority through CHRIST JESUS so live in that. We have been given power through the Holy Spirit so apply that. Depend on CHRIST JESUS and HIS Holy Spirit, stop leaning onto your understanding and lean onto the understanding obtained from the Holy Spirit. CHRIST JESUS is the possessor of Grace and HE will give grace to whomever HE wills to do so. If we are true believers in CHRIST JESUS then we have HIS grace in our lives. And this grace will change how we think, how we see, how we listen, and how we speak from as the world does which is negative to how it is in heaven which is positive and optimistic. We will speak about the Good News of CHRIST JESUS by way of Encouragement in the Word of GOD, by Information about who we are in CHRIST JESUS, and through Inspiration by how to live according to the promises of GOD.
