The Gospel of Jesus Christ
According to Matthew
Part 125 - Mat 7 - The Law and Prophets
Matthew 7:1-29 KJV
[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? [5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. [6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. [7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: [8] for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? [10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? [11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? [12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. [13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: [27] and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: [29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

The Law and Prophets
Psalm 119:169-174 KJV
[169] Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: Give me understanding according to thy word. [170] Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word. [171] My lips shall utter praise, When thou hast taught me thy statutes. [172] My tongue shall speak of thy word: For all thy commandments are righteousness. [173] Let thine hand help me; For I have chosen thy precepts. [174] I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; And thy law is my delight.

Psalm 119:133 KJV
[133] Order my steps in thy word: And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.119.133.KJV
We have read the Word, much of this is known, even the things we mention amongst one another. Do we use it to defend ourselves or to excuse the one who does not know. Do we teach that which might save the soul of man, to the ones we claim to love? Is it in our steps, in our breath and in our hand, to do the will of GOD? Do we know the Will of GOD?
This concludes our reading of the Sermon on the mount. Is our foundation on the Rock of Salvation? David longed for what we have in Jesus Christ. We do not have to go out to the Frontline in war any longer; but we can seek, we can knock and ask. Who is our Salvation, Who is it that delivers us and can prevent iniquity from having dominion over us? Who set us free? I pray you have the answer to this, that it is real in your daily lives.
Do we yearn for that which is good? Do we yearn for righteousness, not just for our benefit but also to be in righteousness ourselves?
Is it not written that Christ stands at the door and He knocks? I pray that mankind will open their hearts to their Salvation. I have read the Word of GOD, I have pondered on the prophecies, and prayed with hope in heart, that man will repent and be saved from the judgment to come. But, the prophecies say what it does, that the way to destruction is broad and wide, and that there are many that go in that way. No, my heart is on the straight and narrow gate. I hope that man might find it. We read the words of Christ, but do we truly believe in it?
In my life, I have seen many come and go. Some have perished from this life while they were young, and some lived a long and full life, but the end of all is only known by GOD. By their fruit shall we know them, it is written. Many, I have seen, bore no fruit that is good, or at least not that which could be seen. Did they obscure their good deeds so that it only be known to GOD? Do we bear fruit that has no substance in it, like the plastic or porcelain fruit that is put on show in houses? It is also written that each of us must work out our Salvation with the Lord in fear and trembling. Now I know that the best that I can do for those I love is to work on the beam in my eye, so that I may see clearly. Then, I might be of use to them. Let me not share my opinions but the precepts of the LORD our GOD. Once the foundation is played upon the Rock of our Salvation, we can help one another build a sure house, but without that Foundation, we build in vain, for the storm will surely come.
Selah, Shalom.
