In our Tuesday class we have been reading & studying the Sermon on the Mount from the book of Matthew (5-7). The workbook we've been using has a great list that is a helpful reminder of how to conduct ourselves as followers of Christ.
It’s Gods will that I…
- am poor in Spirit - mourn over my sin
- exhibit meekness - show mercy
- pray - bless those who persecute me
- rejoice in persecution - refrain from anger
- avoid name calling - initiate reconciliation
- don’t lust - deal harshly with sin
- keep my word - return evil with good
- fast - forgive others
- forgive others - give to the needy
- make peace - am perfect as He is perfect
- lay up my treasures in heaven, not on earth
- let my light shine so God is glorified
- keep & teach all His commandments
- have righteousness that surpasses that of the Pharisees
- practice my righteousness in secret
- make friends with my legal opponent
- hunger & thirst for righteousness
- honor my marriage covenant
- love & pray for my enemies
The author, Sandra Glahn, also points out that God has already revealed most of His will for our lives. It's up to us to listen & obey.
