Someone referred me to the GenZ Bible… it definitely good reading for gen z.

https://genz.bible/Matthew/5

Here is chapter 5 from Matthew.

Read and enjoy the word of God!

Gen Z: Matthew 5
1. So, like, Jesus looked out and saw a bunch of people, and he was like, 'Okay, time to get my zen on.' So he went up this mountain and sat down, and his crew of disciples was like, 'Hey Jesus, what's up?'
2. So, like, he started talking and dropped some knowledge, saying,
3. Those who have a humble mindset are blessed, 'cause they got the hookup to heaven's kingdom.
4. Those who feel down vibes will be uplifted, yo: they'll find some genuine comfort in the game of life.
5. Happy are the chill ones, 'cause they'll totally score the whole planet.
6. Happy are those who crave justice and righteousness, because they will find fulfillment.
7. Those who show kindness are totally blessed, 'coz they'll definitely receive kindness back.
8. So like, those who are genuine and have like, no hidden agenda or bad vibes in their hearts, they're totally #blessed 'cause they'll get to experience the awesomeness of encountering God and stuff.
9. Those who bring peace are so epic, bro, 'cause they'll totally be known as God's squad. 🙌
10. Hella fortunate are the ones who get persecuted for doing what's right, 'cause they're the kings and queens of heaven.
11. You're lucky when people trash talk you, harass you, and spread all sorts of lies about you just because you believe in me. Like, they're totally making things up, you know? But hey, keep your head up! It's all because of me.
12. Yo, listen up! Be stoked and totally hype, 'cause your reward in heaven is gonna be lit AF! Just think about it, the prophets before you got mad persecuted. You're in good company, fam!
13. You all are like the seasoning that makes the earth taste better: but if the seasoning loses its flavor, how can it be seasoned again? It's worthless then, just thrown away and stepped on by everyone.
14. You all are like the coolest influencers ever. A lit city on a sick hill that's impossible to miss.
15. Yo, you don't light a candle and then hide it under a boring old container. Nah, you put it on a dope candle holder where it can shine bright and illuminate the whole house. By the way, in the original language, that 'container' word means a measurement that's slightly smaller than a peck.
16. Yo, like, shine your light so everyone can see your dope deeds and give props to your Dad up in heaven.
17. Don't even think that I'm here to wreck the rules or the words of the spiritual leaders. Nah, I'm not here to ruin anything - I'm here to make it all complete and meaningful.
18. Honestly, listen up peeps, heaven and earth won't go outta style before every little rule in the law gets totally crossed off the list. It's gotta be completed, no doubts about it.
19. So like, anyone who breaks even the tiniest commandment and spreads the idea that it's cool, they'll be considered the lowest in the heavenly kingdom. But those who actually follow the commandments and spread the good word, they'll be seen as super awesome in the heavenly kingdom.
20. Listen up, fam. If you wanna get into the kingdom of heaven, your righteousness gotta be on a different level than them scribes and Pharisees. No cap, it's gotta be on point.
21. You know how it goes, back in the day they used to say, 'Don't take someone's life, and if you do, you better watch out for the consequences!
22. But listen up, fam. Anybody who gets mad at their bro for no legit reason is asking for some serious judgment, ya feel? And anyone who straight up disses their bro, calling them a nobody, better watch out for the council. But here's the real deal: if you call your bro a fool, you're seriously tempting the fires of hell. Oh, and just so you know, 'Raca' basically means 'useless loser'.
23. So, like, if you're gonna give your gift at the altar and then you suddenly remember that your bro isn't cool with you, ya know...
24. Yo, before you go all spiritual and stuff, leave your gift in front of the altar, dip out for a sec, and make things right with your brother first. Then you can come back and offer your gift like it's all good.
25. Yo, like, if you got beef with someone, try to squash it ASAP while you're still chillin' together. 'Cause if you let it drag on, next thing you know, that person might snitch on you to the authorities, then the authorities pass you on to some enforcer, and before you know it, you're locked up.
26. Listen up, I'm telling you straight up, there's no way you're getting out of there until you've paid every last penny you owe.
27. Okay listen up, you've probably heard the old folks saying something like 'Don't cheat on your partner:'
28. But listen up, y'all. If you're checkin' out a girl just to get all thirsty for her, you've already broken the commitment in your heart and technically cheated on her.
29. And if something you see online upsets you, block it, and remove it from your feed: because it's better for you to lose one follower, than for your entire online presence to be tainted. #SelfCare
30. And if your right hand is causing problems for you, just get rid of it and throw it away. It's better for you to lose one of your body parts than for your whole body to end up in hell.
31. So, like, people used to say that if you wanted to ditch your wife, you had to give her, like, a legal paper to make it official and stuff:
32. But listen up, y'all. If anyone breaks up with their spouse, except for cheating, they're basically making their ex commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced person is also commiting adultery.
33. Yo, you probably heard the old folks talking about this, but they said you shouldn't break your promises and instead keep them for the big man upstairs. Like, you gotta stay true to your word and honor your commitments, dude.
34. Yo guys, listen up. Don't be using swear words, like, at all. And I'm talking about not even swearing by heaven, 'cause that's where God's chillin' on His throne, ya know?
35. And not even the earth, 'cause that's just where he rests his feet. And not even Jerusalem, 'cause that's like the city of the ultimate boss.
36. Don't go like, promising on your own head and stuff, 'cause let's be real, you can't even control the color of a single strand of hair.
37. Here's the deal: just be straightforward and honest with your words, none of that extra fluff. Anything more than that is just plain wrong.
38. So basically, you've probably heard people say 'Do unto others as they do unto you', eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth kind of deal:
39. Yo, listen up! Check it - I got a real talk for ya. Don't let evil get to ya, keep your chill. If someone decides to throw shade at you and hits you on the right cheek, don't hit 'em back. Instead, show 'em your other cheek. Yeah, it's all about taking the high road, no need for revenge or negativity.
40. If someone wants to take you to court and take your clothes, let them take your jacket too.
41. If someone asks you to go the extra mile, go even further with them.
42. If someone asks you for something, be willing to give it to them. Don't refuse to lend things to those who need them.
43. So, like, you know how people have always been saying Lovee your neighbor and hate your enemy', right?
44. But listen, fam, here's the deal: show mad love to your haters, speak blessings over those who curse you, do good for the ones who straight up hate you, and pray for those who treat you like trash or straight up go against you;
45. So you can be like your heavenly Dad, because he makes the sun shine on both the wicked and the righteous, and sends rain to both the fair and the unfair.
46. If you only show love to those who love you back, what's the point? Even tax collectors do that, fam.
47. And if you only say hi to your squad, what's the flex? Even the basic ones do that, yo.
48. So, like, strive to be totally flawless and perfect, just like how your heavenly Father is flawless and perfect. No pressure or anything!

Life is a Beautiful Journey!

Life is full of peaks and valleys, ups and downs—but here’s the truth: no storm lasts forever. The rain might fall, the winds might blow, but the sun always comes back out, brighter than before.

Don’t waste your time dwelling on the bad. What’s happened is in the past, and the only thing that truly matters is how you rise, how you react, and how you grow from every experience. Strength isn’t built in comfort—it’s forged in challenges.

Seek spiritual wellness, embrace positivity, and pursue true health—because health isn’t just physical; it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual too. But we’ll dive into that another day!

For now, keep your head up, keep pushing forward, and remember: your best days are still ahead!

Want to be saved and have eternal life? 🔥
The Bible makes it simple:

1️⃣ Acknowledge Your Sin – "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

2️⃣ Believe in Jesus – "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

3️⃣ Confess and Call Upon Him – "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)

🙏 Call on Him today! – "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Jesus is waiting with open arms! ❤️ Don’t wait—accept Him today!
