Beatitudes (Part 2)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In a discussion led by Steve Gregg, Scriptures from Luke and James are examined in the context of the Beatitudes. Gregg contrasts the Kingdom of Heaven with the Kingdom of God and affirms the importance of having a broken spirit and being a receptor for God. He emphasizes the need for humility and seeing oneself as a beggar entirely reliant on God, and that seeking a pure heart and being merciful are crucial for obtaining God's mercy. In conclusion, Gregg states that obtaining the earth and inheriting the Kingdom of God is not about being aggressive, pushy, or well-armed, but about releasing and giving up personal rights.
