17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the 1Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
18 "For truly I say to you, 2until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
19 "Whoever * then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least 3in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever * keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 "For I say to you that unless * your 4righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter 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.
