Summary: Beginning with Matthew chapter 5 we have recorded for us Jesus’ first sermon and also His longest sermon. He came to earth to save lost sinners who would place their faith in Him as the promised Messiah. However faith comes by the hearing of the Word of G
AN OBEDIENT WALK:
’But prove yourselves, doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.’
Many people will go as far to hear the Word of God but then refuse to put it into faithful daily practice. Even the devils believe the Word of God. They recognize its truth and its power. You have to become obedient to what God speaks to you. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, however it is also a dangerousthing. For to whom much is given, much is required. If you know to do good but you do it not, it is a SIN.
What we say we believe ought to be backed up with what we practice. Our actions speak much louder than our words. Its hard to share your testimony of what you believe when others see something so much differ in your living. Make them a believer by watching you and by listening to you. Remember, not everyone that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of the Father, which is in Heaven."
This powerful sermon which Jesus proclaimed is filled with wisdom and instruction for you to govern your lives by. If you will begin with Matthew 5:1 and continue until the end of this sermon, and you accept it and you obey it, your lives will beblessed beyond measure. I have tried it and I approve of His message! May God richly bless you as we begin your journey through Jesus’ sermon.
I heard the story a few days ago of a student pilot behind the wheel. Something happened and the plane was on its way down, about to crash. The last remarks heard over the radio of the small plane came from the instructing pilot, "Give me the wheel!" When I heard that I received a spiritual thought that blessed me and perhaps it may bless you also. If you do not give the wheel, the control over to our spiritual pilot, Jesus Christ, we will surely crash into destruction. The longer we stay at the wheel the bigger mess we make of our lives!
