Presentation
Christian ethics in the Beatitudes
The Beatitudes are one of the best-known passages in the entire Bible, and many Christians know them by heart. This is not surprising because, under a very simple appearance, they contain riches that are often unsuspected for the life of the child of God.
The Beatitudes give a very clear definition of biblical salvation. They also showcase the breathtakingly powerful impact that the life of faith can have on daily living in a drifting world like ours.
The author skillfully brings together the various facets of the Beatitudes to show how the grace of God at work in the renewed heart transforms all of life. But he is careful to stress that the Beatitudes are not conditions for obtaining salvation, but above all they describe the character of the Christian.
However, they have a revolutionary impact and manifest the presence of grace in the heart.
Each chapter examines the nature and consequences of these Christian virtues. What is a "poor in spirit"? Why be “grieved”? Who is the "pure heart" man? What joy is there in being persecuted? What is the persecution?
A comprehensive, practical, faithful and insightful look at one of the Lord Jesus’s most useful teachings today.
