Verses

• And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 
         "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
            For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
         Blessed are those who mourn,
            For they shall be comforted. 
         Blessed are the meek,
            For they shall inherit the earth. 
         Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
            For they shall be filled. 
         Blessed are the merciful,
            For they shall obtain mercy. 
         Blessed are the pure in heart,
            For they shall see God. 
         Blessed are the peacemakers,
            For they shall be called sons of God. 
         Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
            For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

          "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

  Believers Are Salt and Light

      "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

      "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Christ Fulfills the Law

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Matthew 5:1-18

• But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Matthew 19:26

• And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19
