The beatitudes are one of the messages that all followers must measure their walk and standards of holiness with.  As it was told to me if you are doing these things, you are keeping yourself in the faith and have found favor with God and Man.  These standards are also reflections of your maturity in the faith. A few of these will be more challenging than others but with the Lords help and your continued willingness to please him you will see how your character will begin to change and become more like the character of Christ.  This is the Goal and the perfect will of God that we in character become like Jesus.  By the way its also the will of Christ.
