Matthew 5:10

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

• Persecution

• Reward

Persecution for righteousness’ sake is not something to be feared but to be embraced, for it is the path to the kingdom of heaven. This verse assures us that when we suffer for doing what is right, we are blessed, and our reward is secure in God’s eternal Kingdom. Righteousness may bring opposition from the world, but God promises that those who are persecuted for His name will receive His blessing. This promise gives us the strength to endure and remain steadfast in faith, knowing that our sacrifices and suffering are not in vain. The Kingdom of Heaven is reserved for those who endure for the sake of righteousness, and this eternal reward far outweighs any temporary suffering. Worship, in this sense, becomes an act of trust and hope, as we endure trials with the assurance that God is watching over us and that His reward is eternal and incomparable.
