Matthew 5:17-20

Listen to Matthew 5:17-20

The Sermon on the Mount: The Law and the Prophets Fulfilled

17 "Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have not come to destroy [them] but to fulfill [them].
18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place.
19 Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps [them] and teaches [them], this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matching the Inside with the Outside, Part 2
Matching the Inside with the Outside, Part 2
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

On a mountainside in Galilee, Jesus preached a sermon for the ages. In it He turned every religious principle on its head, carrying His hearers from conduct to character, rules to righteousness, and laws to life. In this message, guest speaker Charles Price gets to the heart of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. As you follow him through Jesus’ message, you too will be carried from the expectation of external action to the blessed grace of internal transformation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.  Not by works, so that no one can boast!”  That sure makes it clear, we’re saved by grace and not by trying to live up to the standard of the law.  But does that mean the law of God is unnecessary?  Today on Sound Doctrine we learn that Jesus didn’t come to destroy the law, but rather fulfill it!  But what should our response to the law be?  Find out today.
