This week, we are going to continue studying the things that Christ taught and expects us to live by:

6) Do not retaliate
Matt 5:39

7) Love your enemies
Matt 5:44

This requires us to be at peace with God and ourselves as a Christian. It requires us to die to our own pride.

8) Charitable deeds vs Good works

Matthew 6:1

Matthew 5:16
Charitable deeds are referred to the giving of alms, helping the poor and needy.

Good works are how we live our lives and do our work.

Jesis deals mainly with the issues, conditions and intents of the heart

The heart of the matter is truly the matter of the heart.

9) Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven
Matthew 6:20

What are treasures in heaven?
It means treasures that will last for all eternity, such as a transformed life, a life lived for God, love… most of these are intangible.

10) The lamp of the body is the eye
Matthew 6:22

i. Be watchful with what you see

Philippians 4:8

ii. Be watchful how you see a person or something.

11) You cannot serve God and Mammon
Matthew 6:24

We just cannot commit ourselves to two masters. Either God is God or He is not.

1 Timothy 6:10

12) Do not judge
Matthew 7:3

Insecurity is a huge problem. It leads us to comparison and competition.

Insecurity causes us to find fault in others. Why? It is because we place our security in the wrong place.

13) deny yourself

Matthew 10:38

Mark 8:34
