A deeper and richer look into the eight beatitudes of Jesus recorded in Matthew 5. These beatitudes grant us a view of genuine and lasting happiness, the "good life," as one writer has said. Jesus understands the negatives of life, but his concern is to cheer us and tell what real happiness is all about. That is the approach of this study.

Our Christian heritage teaches us that these ten "words" give us conviction for when we dishonor God and our neighbor, constrain us in our civil engagements and provide guidelines as to acceptable behaviors before God and people in every culture and every situation. They are God's lifelines to a peaceful and stable society. When God Says No is a theological and practical study of the Ten Commandments. It will immerse you in what God considers right and proper behavior and will expand your horizons in almost every field of endeavor.

Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion ("Blessed are you who are persecuted") and the resurrection ("Rejoice and be glad").

Jesus' first recorded sermon in the Bible is a blueprint for being happy here on earth. And though His definition contains no prescriptions for acquiring cars, homes, or savings, it does require transformation and obedience. MacArthur examines Jesus' timeless definition of happiness, and explains that our reward for following Jesus' plan is citizenship in the kingdom of God- and an abiding joy that can never be taken away. Study guide and review included for individual or group study.
