The 'beatitudes' are from the "Sermon on the Mount" that Christ offered His followers. Jesus recognized what lay ahead for those who would heed His call and follow 'The Way' which latter was called Christianity. Christ gave those who had ears to hear setting the incredibly high standards that reflect the inner character of His Kingdom. After each 'beatitude,' He then offered a rich blessing for those who would take Him at His word and follow.
Recognizing that the necessary time would seem so long to followers - leaving them the human potential to become disappointed with their fellow saints, despair over external pressures (both from the Jewish communities they were 'evolving' from and Rome,itself) and, yes, even ultimately lead them to depart. So Christ told them, in effect, "Happy are you if you do these things, stay with it, for indeed there is a blessing in the end."
Additionally, Jesus, in the Book of Revelations, gave another offer of additional beatitudes to reinvigorate His followers to stick with it? He wanted them to hold on and realize that while it wouldn't be easy to be a Christian in circa 95 A.D. to present, it would be worth it.
By striving to adhere or meet the standard of these 'beatitudes,' Christians enter the proper God-like relationship of the Kingdom of God.
