Which term matches 'Jesus' teachings on true happiness'?

• A. Beatitudes
• B. Commandments
• C. Prayer
• D. Adoration

Answer: (A)

This question focuses on Jesus' teaching about blessedness, or true happiness, in the Kingdom of God. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents a series of blessings on people who embody certain spiritual dispositions—being poor in spirit, mourning, meek, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and those persecuted for righteousness. The word blessed means more than temporary joy; it signifies a deep happiness grounded in God’s favor and the promise of His presence and reward. Because these teachings specifically describe the qualities that lead to this kind of happiness, the term that matches “Jesus’ teachings on true happiness” is Beatitudes. The other options refer to different aspects of faith—commandments are laws, prayer is talking with God, and adoration is worship—none of which capture this particular collection of blessings about blessedness in God’s kingdom.
