Dive deep into Matthew 5 and discover why Jesus shifted the focus from the external actions of the Ten Commandments to the internal transformation of the Beatitudes. This isn't about doing away with God's law but about fulfilling it to a profound, spiritual level where we don't just do righteous acts; we become righteousness from the heart, moving from the tree of knowledge to the tree of life.
We'll decode powerful symbols like being the "salt of the earth"—exploring how the Holy Spirit and truth within us make us a preserving, healing influence—and the "light of the world," showing how our good works are meant to glorify God without the dangerous syncretism that dilutes our witness. This study reveals how true, internal righteousness, which exceeds that of the Pharisees, is the essential preparation for our eternal place in God's family.
