Answer:Matthew chapter 5 contains "The Beatitudes" blessed, happy are the spiritually humble, the sorrowful, the patient, the long suffering, those spiritually hungry for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peace makers and maintainers, and those persecuted for doing right and for Christ's sake. This is the exact opposite of the world's standards. In these verses, Jesus reveals a model for how Christians are to live their lives and in so doing receive spiritual prosperity. This is all despite how the world interprets a Christian's outward conditions. Jesus is teaching that if we live as servants with humble and right hearts, we will be richly blessed here on earth as well as in heaven. Jesus wants to bless Christians so that unbelievers are drawn to them, and consequently the unbeliever can be led to salvation in Christ.
