Contrary to man's traditional interpretations of the Beatitudes, they are not a list of works we can strive to do to make it into heaven: they are what God does in us. Christ methodically outlines the mindset and personality of the citizens of heaven who will inherit the future earth. They are those whose lifelong buffetings have emptied them of their pride and ego so they can be filled by God. These are the ones who will see God. VF-2224 Matthew 5:3-10
