Book excerpt: Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion ("Blessed are you who are persecuted") and the resurrection ("Rejoice and be glad").
Download or read book Jesus Spiritual Laws written by Isabel Anders and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven steps to spiritual life ... ten principles for business success ... twelve ways to fulfill your destiny. We see the promises and principles everywhere we turn—and our hearts leap. Is there really a list of foolproof actions or attitudes—or a combination of the above—that can turn our life around, bring us joy and fulfillment and personal acclaim ... fill up the empty places inside us and guarantee better relationships with the people around us? When Jesus taught these eight spiritual laws in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 5, he was giving timeless descriptions of the good, moral, and ethical life, which, when sincerely practiced, will bring incalculable joy. Each of these laws can be accessible to us in our spiritual lives as naturally as breathing comes to our physical lives. These laws or blessings are actually a series of exclamations—or "Congratulations!"—appropriate for those who are already existing in a state of happiness. Love—fulfillment—is all around us already. All that is required is that we learn how to enter in to the joy and peace that is God’s kingdom among us here and now.
Download or read book The Beatitudes written by Robert Davidson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a deep need today to discover what true religion is. Around our world we have seen terrorist attacks in the name of religion. In America we have witnessed over the past decades a shift from a slowly dying traditional religion to a growing mega-church contemporary religion. If we want to hear God speak to us, we need to hear God speak to us in the simple but most profound words ever spoken. The words of Jesus. The message of his sermon on the mount. The blessings of the beatitudes. That is what this book is about. To hear God speak. To reclaim the true religion of Jesus. To let these eight principles transform our lives and return to the True Religion of Jesus. Jesus did not deliver his message in a haphazard manner. No, his message was an organized and systematic approach to what True Religion is. These eight eternal principles unlock for us the key to happiness in our lives, based on our connection with God. Mankind can only find happiness in the principles of Jesus. Men and women in all walks of life can connect with God. God speaks to us. We do not need to search near and far, high and low, on the surface or in the deep to find the True Religion. It is found here. The Beatitudes of Jesus. My book is practical. It is also theological. It is personal. It is also biblical. No stone is left unturned. Every area of our lives - our ultimate underlying dependency upon something else, our desperate need of forgiveness, our finest character quality, our greatest need and desire, our highest attribute as a person, our deepest connection with God, our greatest aspiration in life, and the final result of the days that come as a result of the practice of the principles of the True Religion - all are revealed by what Jesus said. In these principles are the pristine purity of what life is about and how we can connect with God.

Download or read book True Happiness written by Alan C. Robertson and published by Deep River Books LLC. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we find true happiness? For over thirty years, Dr. Alan Robertson has counseled those exploring this simple question that is common to all of us. Dr. Robertson has identified a mystery: the more people pursue happiness, the more elusive happiness becomes. Linked to this is another profound discovery: if a person finds something meaningful in life, and begins to be passionate about it, happiness comes as a by-product. Jesus recognizes the hunger of the human heart for happiness. In fact, he prescribed the solution! The answer lies in understanding and applying the eight beatitudes spoken by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Each beatitude begins with the word blessed which means "very, very happy." While most of us have heard of the eight beatitudes, few of us fully understand their value-let alone apply them to our lives. As Dr. Robertson studied the beatitudes, they impacted his life so powerfully that he knew he must share this transformational truth with others. True Happiness: Living the 8 Beatitudes contains the dynamic results of his study and teaching. Each chapter provides an in-depth exposition of one of the beatitudes, practical exercises, questions for further Bible study, and a suggested prayer. If you're ready to try living the beatitudes yourself, this book will be a practical and life-changing study. You may be surprised to find... True Happiness.
