In Matthew 5:3-11, Jesus teaches us what it means to be blessed.

In this eighth part, “Approved by God", Matthew 5:10. We learn what it means to be persecuted for righteous sake and what is guaranteed to us. 

Those who are persecuted are guaranteed God’s unlimited presence, provision, and encouragement.

Many more opportunities will be available to practice a life which chooses to be approved by God instead of seeking man’s approval and truly be blessed.
