Attitudes and Actions of the Christian

The Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew 5-7, outlines essential attitudes and actions for Christians to be pleasing to God. Jesus emphasizes the necessity of recognizing our need for God, humbling ourselves, and desiring to learn (Matt 5:3-6). Christians must practice mercy, strive for purity of motive, and join God in His work (Matt 5:7-9). Additionally, we must avoid negative actions such as hypocrisy and worldliness, and be willing to stand firm even in persecution (Matt 5:10-16, 7:1-6). This sermon reveals the path to true discipleship and the dangers to watch for.
