Peacemakers
Beatitudes, continued
Persecution – rejoice (Matthew 5:10-12), continued
We have to display evidence of our faith in our life.
Persecution generally causes God’s message to spread, even if some people initially shrink with fear. Those who persecute eventually come to naught.
Heaven is the ultimate reward for withstanding persecution.
Salt and light – remember who you are! (Matthew 5:13-16)
Salt of the earth
Light on a hill
When you are a light in the darkness, people will see you.
Light NOT under a bushel.
I Thessalonians 1:6-7
I Timothy 4:12
Titus 2:7-8

Attitudes
Practical advice
