Matthew 7:21- Depart from my I never knew you...

We are concluding this Men's Series on Jesus Christ our Lord's Sermon on the Mount. We will begin again in Matthew 8

In His sermon, which is very powerful, He is correcting the poor, conclusive teachings of the Pharisees, which helped misguide the Jews to false conclusions about the law, AND AWAY FROM THE LORD. 

Instead of teaching the law of Moses (the first 5 books of the Bible), they taught their interpretation of the Bible; as such, they teach commentary! They called this the "traditions of the fathers". Not the tradition of their Father in Heaven. 

So John the Baptist was sent to get the Jews back on track because they knew what sin was, and keeping man's traditions is not a biblical approach, nor does it lend change in the person's heart for the Holy Spirit and to please God. They needed to repent of their sin to God not the breaking of Jewish laws vs God's laws. We need to be aware of this in our own lives today. What laws are we following...

Sadly, we often do this in church. We put our programs and traditions ahead and want people to conform to those to fit in. It is powerful and subtle. We need to ensure that we submit ourselves to the word of God as our source, and this is the focus of our study today. 

Learn about the laws in the book of Moses, 613, and how to love God through Christ Jesus by obeying His commandments through His disciples in our new covenant. There are 1642 laws! 

The law of God is to convict us of sin and show that we need a Savior. We must be born again to follow God into Eternity.
