Sermon on the Mount Part 3
vs 1-6 We need to be careful about judging. It is so easy to do, yet we do not always realize that we are doing it. Our own brokenness keeps up from telling other people how they need to change. We think we are doing someone else some good but are judging others when we are messed up.
vs 7-12
1. Ask- if you do not know ask. If you ask you receive.
2. Seek- keep searching, and you will find.
3. Knock- the door will not be opened unless you knock.
Some struggle with faith, this is why it is important for us to continue to ask for our faith strengthened and to seek encouragement so the door will be opened. Faith is grown by our actions and what we put into it we will receive from it.
vs 13-14 Walk through the small gate and narrow path. It leads to life.
vs 15-23 As followers of Christ we need to bear good fruit. This is the will of the Father. For more on fruit see Galatians 5:22-23.
vs 24-29 Put God's word into practice. We need to build our foundation of life from Scripture. We would be foolish not to.
