Questions for Matthew 5:5-8
6) I think of someone cowering in the corner, afraid and too timid to speak their minds. I think of someone trying to shrink themselves. The definition of meek is “quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.” In the Bible, meekness is when someone is willing to accept and submit to the will of someone else, which is God. We put everything in God’s hands. The Bible’s meekness does not match my thoughts at all. In sum, you want to be meek!
7) To always be seeking to be right with God, to lead a life without sin, to be like Jesus. I need to always be seeking God and seeking to be right with Him. Currently, I don’t do this enough.
8 ) When we show mercy and forgiveness to others, God offers us mercy in return. We can more easily do this because we’ve been forgiven for our sins. When we are “pure” or walk in God’s ways, we will see God. The Holy Spirit helps us to grow spiritually, to be more like Jesus, to have a new attitude. We reject sin and receive blessings. The Beatitudes describe how to grow with God.
