9 We are not told in the Sermon on the Mount, Live like this and you will become Christian ; rather we are told, Because you are Christian live like this. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
10 We are the children of God and citizens of the kingdom of heaven. Because of that, we have to manifest the characteristics of such people. We do this in order to manifest His glory, and so that others may be brought to glorify Him. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
11 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Matthew 5:17-18 (ESV)
12 Religion says I must narrow the commands for my life and I can widen the permissions and still be right. The Gospel says Christ expanded the commands for my life and narrowed the permissions to be right.
13 Sermon On The Mount Theme: Kingdom Life Revealed Kingdom Vision... Beatitudes (5) Kingdom Impact... Salt/Light (5) Kingdom Truth... Fulfill Law (5) Kingdom Life... Practicing Righteousness (6-7)

15 Jesus And The Law Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17 (NASB)
16
17
18 Jesus And The Law Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17 (NASB) Jesus perfectly obeyed the Hebrew Scriptures. (Ethical Fulfillment) Jesus perfectly brought forth the meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures. (Doctrinal Fulfillment) Jesus perfectly fulfilled and completed the Hebrew Scriptures. (Predictive Fulfillment)
19 Jesus And The Law An Affirmation (18) And A Warning (19-20) For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:18-20 (ESV)
20 Kingdom Truth Principle (17-20) Application (21-47) You have heard it said... But I tell you... Illustration/Application
21 Vows/Oaths? Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn. Matthew 5:33 (ESV)
22 No Vows/Oaths Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn. 34 But I say to you, do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply Yes or No ; anything more than this comes from evil. Matthew 5:33-37 (ESV)
23 Kingdom Living No Vows/Oaths 1. Do not swear or make oaths in personal matters. 2. Do not use words that shade or stretch the truth. 3. Let yes mean yes and no mean no.
24 Personal Injustice? You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Matthew 5:38 (ESV)
25 No Retaliation You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. Matthew 5:38-42 (ESV)
26 Kingdom Living No Retaliation 1. Turn the other cheek, give more than asked, serve beyond what is expected, and give when asked. 2. All we have belongs to God stuff, money, bodies, and even personal rights. 3. Trust Him to use these to accomplish His plans and for His glory.
27 Enemies? You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. Matthew 5:43 (ESV)
28 Love Your Enemies You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48 (ESV)
29 Kingdom Living No Retaliation 1. Key word LOVE. 2. Love seeks the best for its object. It is not based on a feeling but a determined act of the will putting the welfare of others above our own. 3. Pray for those who persecute you.
30 Inside Out God Looks At The Heart All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit. Proverbs 16:2 (ESV) For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a (ESV) I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds. Jeremiah 17:10 (ESV)
31 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. 20 To the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:14-21 (ESV)
