Matthew 5:10-12 Bible Study

Questioning Assumptions with Grace

When we make assumptions about someone before we have most—if not all—the facts, what we’re really revealing is often more about ourselves than it is about the individual we’re discussing. These assumptions typically reflect our perspective and biases, rather than the person’s true intentions or circumstances.

Catholicism: tradition versus truth

My intention is not to stir up hatred or mislead anyone. However, we must not rely solely on tradition or on others for salvation. Instead, we are called to put our hope and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Knowing Jesus vs Religion

Do you truly know where you stand with Jesus—and are you being shaped more by worldly knowledge than by genuine devotion to Him?

Matthew 5:10-12 Bible Study

Welcome in as we complete the fourth theme of the Beatitudes, which focuses on our attitude toward the world. As we move through this final teaching, we begin to see that it doesn’t stand alone—it ties everything together. It brings all the previous themes into clear focus and helps us understand what our response should be as children of God.

Jesus Authority

Praying at night “in the name of Jesus” isn’t treating Him like a genie or making Him perform on demand. It’s recognizing Jesus as Lord, approaching God with reverence, and trusting His will—whether the answer is what I expected or not. At night prayer is about relationship, not transactions. I’m not praying to control outcomes; I’m praying to align my heart with God, seek guidance, express gratitude, and bring my concerns to Him with faith.
