Eager Bver Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Each Beatitude consists of 1) the person or condition of the situation, and 2) the promise or result. Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox because that was the method they used to teach. The relationship between the Beatitudes and the Fruit of the Spirit is that they both have the same results. e.g., The peacemakers have to have the fruit of peace.

webster52 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Each Beatitude consists of two parts. What are these parts? It expresses the person’s current condition and their future condition (in Jesus’ Kingdom) through their continued faith in the LORD. Why do you think Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox? Paradoxes can be a useful tool in teaching because they require you to think more carefully about what is being said. We had a Minister that used to say, when Biblical statements strike you as backwards, counter-intuitive, or crazy—this is God’s loving alert that you are being brainwashed by the secular world. What is the relationship of the Beatitudes to the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)? 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodnessith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. In order to possess the fruits of the Spirit one must believe and apply the principles expressed in the beatitudes. It is a “hand in glove” type of circumstance; by following the precepts of the beatitudes you will manifest the fruits of the Spirit.

JoanG Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The two parts of each beatitude are: the condition and the reward. I feel that the Beatitudes were made to describe the people that Jesus was here to save. Each one of these talk about the heart and soul ahd condition of the person. I feel that Jesus was saying that He dd not come here to those that worshipped the material things of this planet. He actuallyh came to save those that felt thyat they were missing something in their personal lives. These are the people that had more of a longing in their souls. They needed more than the church had to offer at the time. The relationship between the Beatitudes and the Fruit of the Spirit is as follows: I believe that the fruit of the Spirit is the help that the Holy Spirit gives us once we acknowledge that we are the ones described in the Beatitudes. We are given the internal help in our lives with His presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 The two parts of the Beatitudes is the first part is expounding on the expression and the other part is telling us the reward for such an attitude. Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox because we don’t think that the weakness of a person could receive such a great reward. The relation of the Beatitudes and the Fruit of the Spirit are connected.

Guitar Jim Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Q1. (Matthew 5:3-11) Each Beatitude consists of two parts. What are these parts? The first part of each beatitude is describing who is being blessed. The second part is giving us the reason why they are blessed. Why do you think Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox? Paradoxes make people think. Jesus' time on earth was at a very crucial point in Israel's and the world's history. In Israel the Scribes and the Pharisees had the Jewish faith "all sorted out" and were living lives of seeming piety, and proud as punch of being so pious. They were legalistic in the extreme and actually persecuted their own people for what they perceived as a lack of piety, By proclaiming that the very people the Pharisees were condemning for being inferior to themselves were, in fact, the objects of God's blessing, Jesus was teaching a very radical and new way of viewing the Jewish religion. What is the relationship of the Beatitudes to the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)? The fruit of the Spirit . . love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . . are the very visible attributes of people whom God had blessed. Jesus' list of people who are favored by God would be those whose lives are governed by the fruit of the Spirit.

Douglas58 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Quote Q1. (Matthew 5:3-11) Each Beatitude consists of two parts. What are these parts? Why do you think Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox? What is the relationship of the Beatitudes to the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)? The two parts? A statement and a prophecy, but more than that; the statement can also be read as a goal, an instruction, a way of life and a description - a path to follow if you will. The prophecy is not 'do this and you shall get this', it is more subtle than that, it is saying by doing this (being aware of our spiritual poverty, practising meekness etc) we share in the Lord (the blessing) and the second part comes naturally. The initial statements are describing folks' actions, choices they make. Choosing to be aware of our own spiritual poverty; choosing to mourn for our own and the world's hurts, choosing to hunger and thirst for righteousness - these are not natural 'states', Jesus is saying is saying two (at least) things: 1. Choosing to do these things is the right way, the way of the Law, the Law that Jesus is bringing a new and correct interpretation of, and by doing them you share in the blessing of the Lord. So he is saying 'Act', and it is no coincidence that the Sermon on the Mount is bookended by calls to action: Matthew 7: 24-27 - Everyone then who hears these words and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.... 2. Feeling these things is good. If you do feel the pain of the world, if you feel merciful (and surely many of his audience did at many a point in their lives) then you are right and follow the Law and I am here to tell you so. This last point is amplified later in his description of hypocrites, Looked at this way (and it is not the only valid way to read the Beatitudes) , there is no paradox there is only God's blessing.

Who will be Blessed and How we will be Blessed So that will would understand, He who has ears let him here. The Blessing comes to those who have the Fruit of the Spirit.

Evie Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 The two parts of the Beatitudes is the attitude (such as meekness, humility, etc). The second part is the reward that we get for taking the attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 The two parts are one an action to be done and two the result of the action. If one receives the result then one knows that they have completed the action. The relationship between the Beatitudes and the Fruit of the Spirit is that in following the Beatitudes not only do you receive the result of the Beatitudes but you also receive the Fruits of the Spirit. I believe the two together are the way God wants us to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesSole Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 On 12/19/2007 at 9:39 PM, Pastor Ralph said: Q1. (Matthew 5:3-11) Each Beatitude consists of two parts. What are these parts? There is the subject, "the Blessed who are poor spirit" and the actual blessing or God's favor-- the Beatitudes. Why do you think Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox? I think God chose to reward those who are lacking and in need so they would better appreciate His grace. Those who have abundance, probably wouldn't seek God's love as much. What is the relationship of the Beatitudes to the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)? The fruit of the Spirit-- love, joy, forbearance, kindness, etc-- are all blessings to be gained if one chooses to live by the Spirit.

Irmela Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Each beatitude consists of two parts. What are these parts? *The recipients of God's blessing *What the recipients are being blessed with. Why do you think Jesus made each Beatitude a paradox? *In those times 'wisdom' sayings were often said in paradoxes or riddles. Jesus used this form to speak to the multitudes. I think it was possibly easier to understand the "picture being painted" and these pictures would also cause questions to be asked or make people search themselves to see where they stand in relation to what He was talking about. What is the relationship of the Beatitudes to the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23 *The recipients of God's blessing are the ones that will display the Fruit of the Spirit.
