How BLESSED Are We Who Truly BELIEVE

Matthew 5:1-12

And seeing the multitudes, He (Jesus Christ) went up on a mountain, and when He (Jesus Christ) was seated His (Jesus Christ’s) Disciples came to Him (Jesus Christ).  Then He (Jesus Christ) opened His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth and TAUGHT Them (The Multitudes), SAYING:

“BLESSED ARE The POOR IN SPIRIT (Believers), for Theirs (Believers) IS The Kingdom of Heaven.

BLESSED ARE Those (Believers) who MOURN, for They (Believers) shall be COMFORTED.

BLESSED ARE The MEEK (Believers), for They (Believers) shall INHERIT The Earth.

BLESSED ARE Those (Believers) who HUNGER and THIRST for Righteousness, for They (Believers) shall be FILLED.

BLESSED ARE The MERCIFUL (Believers), for They (Believers) shall OBTAIN Mercy.

BLESSED ARE The PURE IN HEART (Believers), for They (Believers) shall SEE GOD (GOD Almighty).

BLESSED ARE The PEACEMAKERS (Believers), for They (Believers) shall BE CALLED Sons (Children) of GOD (GOD Almighty).

BLESSED ARE Those (Believers) who are PERSECUTED for Righteousness’ Sake, for Theirs (Believers) IS The Kingdom of Heaven.

BLESSED ARE YOU (Believers), when They (Unbelievers) REVILE and PERSECUTE YOU (Believers), and SAY All Kinds of Evil AGAINST YOU (Believers), FALSELY, for My (Jesus Christ’s) Sake.

REJOICE and BE Exceedingly GLAD, for Great IS Your (Believers) Reward IN Heaven, for so They (Unbelievers) PERSECUTED The Prophets, who were BEFORE YOU (Believers).”

[See also: Luke 6:20-23]

Fellow Believers, Jesus Christ is NOT giving a list of different types of Believers, He (Believers) is actually giving different attributes of EACH Believer.  That’s right, Jesus Christ is describing EACH of Us (Believers).

Romans 1:16-17

For I (Believers) am NOT ashamed of The Gospel of Christ (Jesus Christ), for IT (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) IS The POWER of GOD (GOD Almighty) TO SALVATION for EVERYONE (Believers) who BELIEVES, for The Jew, first, and also for The Greek (The Gentiles/Non-Jewish Believers).  For IN IT (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) The Righteousness of GOD (GOD Almighty) IS REVEALED from Faith TO Faith; as it is written, “The Just shall Live BY FAITH.”

Romans 3:21-26

But NOW The Righteousness of GOD (GOD Almighty), APART from The Law, IS REVEALED, Being Witnessed by The Law and The Prophets, EVEN The Righteousness of GOD (GOD Almighty), THROUGH Faith IN Jesus Christ, to All and ON All (Believers) who BELIEVE.  For there is NO Difference (between Jew and Gentile); for ALL have sinned and FALL SHORT of The GLORY of GOD (GOD Almighty), Being Justified FREELY BY His (GOD Almighty’s) Grace THROUGH The Redemption that IS IN Christ Jesus, Whom GOD (GOD Almighty) SET FORTH as a Propitiation BY His (Jesus Christ’s) Blood, THROUGH Faith, to Demonstrate His (Jesus Christ’s) Righteousness, because IN His (GOD Almighty’s) Forbearance, GOD (GOD Almighty) had PASSED OVER the sins that were previously committed, to Demonstrate AT The Present Time, His (GOD Almighty’s) Righteousness, that He (GOD Almighty) might BE JUST and The Justifier of The One (Believers) who has Faith IN Jesus (Jesus Christ).

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

For though We (Believers) WALK in The Flesh (The Natural Body), We (Believers) do NOT War according to The Flesh (The Natural Body).  For The WEAPONS of Our (Believers) WARFARE Are NOT Carnal (The Natural World), BUT Mighty IN GOD (GOD Almighty) for PULLING DOWN Strongholds, CASTING DOWN Arguments and Every High Thing that EXALTS Itself AGAINST The KNOWLEDGE of GOD (GOD Almighty), BRINGING Every Thought INTO Captivity to The OBEDIENCE of Christ (Jesus Christ), and Being Ready to PUNISH All Disobedience (Unbelievers), when Your (Believers) Obedience IS FULFILLED.

Colossians 3:12-17

Therefore, AS The Elect (Believers) of GOD (GOD Almighty), Holy and Beloved, PUT ON Tender Mercies, Kindness, Humility, Meekness, Longsuffering; Bearing with One Another, and Forgiving One Another, if ANYONE has a Complaint AGAINST Another; even as Christ (Jesus Christ) FORGAVE YOU (Believers), so YOU (Believers) also MUST DO.  BUT Above All These Things PUT ON LOVE, which IS The Bond of Perfection.  And LET The Peace of GOD (GOD Almighty) RULE in Your (Believers) Hearts, to which also YOU (Believers) were CALLED in One Body; and BE Thankful.  LET The WORD of Christ (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) DWELL IN YOU (Believers) Richly in All Wisdom, Teaching and Admonishing One Another IN Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Singing WITH Grace IN Your (Believers) Hearts to The LORD (Jesus Christ).  And whatever YOU (Believers) DO, in word or deed, DO All IN The Name of The LORD Jesus (Jesus Christ), GIVING THANKS to GOD (GOD Almighty), The Father, THROUGH Him (Jesus Christ).

James 3:13, 17-18

Who IS Wise and Understanding among YOU (Believers)?  Let Him (Believers) SHOW by Good Conduct that His (Believers) WORKS Are DONE in The Meekness of Wisdom.  But The Wisdom that is FROM ABOVE (GOD Almighty) is first PURE, then Peaceable, Gentle, Willing to Yield, Full of Mercy and Good Fruits, WITHOUT Partiality and WITHOUT Hypocrisy.  Now, The FRUIT of Righteousness is SOWN in PEACE by Those (Believers) who MAKE Peace.

1 Peter 2:20b-25

BUT when YOU (Believers) DO GOOD and SUFFER, if YOU (Believers) TAKE IT Patiently, This IS Commendable BEFORE GOD (GOD Almighty).  For TO THIS YOU (Believers) were CALLED, because Christ (Jesus Christ) also SUFFERED for Us (Believers), Leaving Us (Believers) an EXAMPLE, that YOU (Believers) should FOLLOW His (Jesus Christ’s) Steps: “Who Committed NO sin, NOR was deceit found in His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth”; Who, when He (Jesus Christ) was REVILED, did NOT revile in return; when He (Jesus Christ) SUFFERED, He (Jesus Christ) did NOT threaten, BUT Committed Himself (Jesus Christ) to Him (GOD Almighty) Who JUDGES RIGHTEOUSLY; Who Himself (Jesus Christ) BORE Our (All Mankind’s) sins IN His (Jesus Christ’s) Own Body ON The Tree (The Cross), that We (Believers), having DIED to sins, might LIVE for Righteousness, BY Whose (Jesus Christ’s) STRIPES, YOU (Believers) WERE HEALED.  For YOU (Believers) were LIKE Sheep GOING ASTRAY, BUT have NOW RETURNED to The Shepherd (Jesus Christ) and OVERSEER (Jesus Christ) of Your (Believers) Souls.

1 Peter 3:13-17

And who is he (Unbelievers) who will HARM YOU (Believers), if YOU (Believers) BECOME Followers of What IS GOOD (Jesus Christ)?  But even if YOU (Believers) should SUFFER for Righteousness’ Sake, YOU (Believers) ARE BLESSED.  “And do NOT be afraid of Their (Unbelievers) Threats, NOR be troubled.”  But SANCTIFY The LORD GOD (GOD Almighty) IN Your (Believers) Hearts, and Always Be Ready to Give A Defense, to EVERYONE who ASKS YOU (Believers) a Reason for The Hope that is IN YOU (Believers), WITH Meekness and Fear; having a Good Conscience, that when They (Unbelievers) DEFAME YOU (Believers) as evildoers, Those (Unbelievers) who REVILE Your (Believers) Good Conduct IN Christ (Jesus Christ) may be ashamed.  For it is BETTER, if it is The Will of GOD (GOD Almighty), to SUFFER for Doing Good, than for doing evil.

1 John 2:27-29

But The ANOINTING (The Holy Spirit), which YOU (Believers) have RECEIVED from Him (Jesus Christ) ABIDES IN YOU (Believers), and YOU (Believers) do NOT need that ANYONE Teach YOU (Believers); BUT As The Same ANOINTING (The Holy Spirit) Teaches YOU (Believers) Concerning All Things, and IS TRUE, and is NOT a lie, and just as IT (The Holy Spirit) has TAUGHT YOU (Believers), YOU (Believers) Will ABIDE IN Him (Jesus Christ).  And NOW, Little Children (Believers), ABIDE IN Him (Jesus Christ), that WHEN He (Jesus Christ) APPEARS, We (Believers) may have CONFIDENCE and NOT be ashamed BEFORE Him (Jesus Christ) AT His (Jesus Christ’s) COMING.  If YOU (Believers) KNOW that He (Jesus Christ) IS RIGHTEOUS, YOU (Believers) KNOW that EVERYONE (Believers) who PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BORN of Him (Jesus Christ).

Fellow Believers, We (Believers) are Truly BLESSED, and One Day Soon (Very Soon), We (Believers) will be IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children (Believers) of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever.  Amen.
