Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted for Righteousness - Matthew 5:10-12

In Matthew 5:10-12, we learn that those who are persecuted for righteousness are truly blessed. Suffering is not noble on its own; it is the persecution stemming from doing what is right that brings God's favor. The response of the world to godliness is often hostility, as indicated in 1 Peter and John, reminding us that our beliefs may incite rejection and insult. Yet, we are encouraged to rejoice in our trials, for we have a great reward in heaven and join the ranks of the prophets. Embrace the journey of faith with joy and assurance.
