Introduction

Relevance to the Christian life

This study deals with many of the questions that may arise if we do not clearly see the line between right and wrong. Does the commandment against murder ever apply to us? When exactly do we break the commandment against adultery? Is it ever right to seek a divorce? What words should never come out of our mouths? How should we treat our enemies? What is the difference between true religion and false religion? How can we stop worrying about things? What is the best way to approach God and obtain His favor? The answers to these and many other questions central to the Christian life appear in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
