To understand Matthew 5 – 7, it is helpful to first look at to whom was this message given, and to whom do those promises apply? Christ says that they will inherit the earth. The body of Christ is blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. What were the prophetic circumstances when they were given? What, according to Daniel, was to…
Many Christians say that the Sermon on the Mount is the model for Christian living today. But if that were true, why is much of it already found in the Old Testament?

There are also false teachers who present themselves as ministers of light. Cunning men using craftiness will try to deceive you. But Paul also tells us how to identify these men and how to walk in…
