"Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the skies," Matthew 5:10.
God made a new covenant with humans. God formed a new treaty in order to establish his kingdom among human hearts. In that agreement, God forgives all sins and transgressions any time people repent from self-centered pursuits toward God-centered motivations. When people receive the sacrifice of Jesus as the means to forgiveness. When people receive God's grace through faith in Christ. And in this transformation, people begin a new way of life, participants in a kingdom where God's rule rules. Where righteousness dwells. So when they are driven out from other relationships, they own the kingdom of heaven, indeed.
We visit with a brother or sister today bound in an eternal relationship of righteousness. And together we thank God for his righteous rule.
