The book moves to the application of the eighth blessing of the Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Being willing to suffer (even losing one's life) for the sake of righteousness is the deepest level of sanctification because it means that the person is unfit for the world but ready for heaven. Believers of Jesus Christ are not afraid of death because we know that Jesus died but resurrected from the dead. He is the first fruits of the resurrection. All who are in him by faith will go through the same glorified body.Please join us in person for worship, fellowship, and study at Abilene Bible Church.
