Matthew 5:9; 13:24-29, 36-43
The Sermon on the Mount is not a series of suggestions on how to make the world a better place or how it would be really nice if we lived this way. Jesus is describing the characteristics of the pathway to heaven, not the pathway to salvation that comes through faith, but the characteristics that are necessary to develop in the lives of those who claim Him as Lord. -
