📖 Matthew 5:5
Favored by God are those who trust in Him rather than their own power to defend against injustice, for they shall inherit the earth.
Clarification: This verse reflects the biblical teaching that those who rely on God's strength and justice, rather than their own, are blessed and will ultimately receive God's promises. It echoes themes from the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus emphasizes humility and trust in God as pathways to spiritual blessing and future reward.
