When it comes to liberals, we can think of them as individuals who are motivated by the idea of making the gospel message accessible to as many people as possible. In other words, they see themselves as acting on behalf of the Holy Spirit by welcoming others and striving for unity. When we consider Jesus' teaching, liberals are most likely to view it as a social message with the potential to transform us into messengers of salvation.The liberal interpretation of the Beatitudes is that they do not see Jesus as the only one who can keep them, but they see His message as a message that we take to the world in order to make it a better place. Liberals believe that Jesus' message was not just for Himself, but for everyone else as well. By sharing this message, we can make the world a better place.If we don't have a good understanding of grace, then even if we think we are doing what Jesus wants, our attitudes will make us unacceptable to him. This is because Jesus talked about both blessings and curses that are beyond human, and about forgiveness and turning the other cheek, and then turned around and condemned and talked about hating men. By doing this, Jesus showed that it is impossible to have the right attitude without a proper understanding of grace.Because our view of love and hate is often corrupted - for example, we may love only for self-fulfillment, or hate without understanding righteous indignation - Jesus was confronting the Pharisees. The Pharisees were like the rich man who came to Jesus and boasted about all the good things he had done according to the law. But when Jesus raised the standard, the man went away into eternal damnation.And Jesus was condemning the actions of the Pharisees who thought they were forgiving. He argued that their actions were actually a form of condemnation, because they were not loving God alone, but instead hating Him. What we need to understand is that if we get these doctrines of grace wrong then it does not matter what we believe about the beatitudes. If we do not have a proper understanding of grace then we will not be able to live according to the beatitudes.
