The Beatitudes are eight commands that Christians believe Jesus gave to them to follow so that they could get to Heaven.

They are the following:

  1. Blessed are the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  2. Blessed are they that mourn; they shall be comforted.
  3. Blessed are the meek; they shall inherit the earth.
  4. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; they shall be filled.
  5. Blessed are the merciful; they shall obtain mercy.
  6. Blessed are the pure of heart; they shall see God
  7. Blessed are the peacemakers; they shall be called the children of god.
  8. Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
