The Sermon on the Mount
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus words in the Sermon on the Mount are the Eternal instructions for living in His Kingdom. It is by these words, that we ensure our stability through the storms, and it is by these words that we can know God’s will for us.
Upon first approaching this teaching, there may be many different conclusions drawn. In general, these are the approach, not it’s application. Take the passages on anger. Suppose you find yourself angry. One approach to hearing the words of Jesus, seeing that He says you’re liable to the judgement if you’re angry, is to attempt to not be angry. On the surface, this is actually the correct first step. It is called repentance, but it is only superficial.
