Jesus starts his discourse ​ — the Sermon on the Mount — ​ by showing that happiness results from having a good relationship with God.
يَسْتَهِلُّ يَسُوعُ خُطْبَتَهُ —‏ ٱلْمَوْعِظَةَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ —‏ بِتِسْعِ عِبَارَاتٍ تُظْهِرُ أَنَّ ٱلسَّعَادَةَ تَنْجُمُ عَنِ ٱلْعَلَاقَةِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ بِٱللهِ .‏
