Jesus declares that entry into the kingdom of heaven rests upon a righteousness that exceeds all outward obedience. Drawing from Matthew 5:13–20 and the writings of the Apostle Paul, this article centers on Christ as the fulfillment of the law and the source of the righteousness credited to all who believe.
Blessed are the Meek
The meek shall inherit the earth. They are welcomed into the Kingdom of God and enjoy its blessings even now. The meek are not impatient or quarrelsome, nor are they always entangled in contentions, disputes, debates, or strife. Biblical meekness involves an attitude of humility, gentleness, and a steadfast reliance upon God—even in the midst of trials and tribulations.
