A Study Through The Sermon On The Mount<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew 5-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Sacred Nature of God’s Word<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matthew 5:17-20 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.<\/span>
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.<\/span>
\n19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do<\/i> the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them,<\/i> he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.<\/span>
\n20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that<\/i> of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I. <\/b>The Fulfillment Of God’s Word<\/b><\/u><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matthew 5:17 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nJesus fulfills\u00a0His Word in\u00a0TYPE.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

John 3:16 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 10:4-10 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, “SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, <\/span>BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;<\/span>
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices<\/i> FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) <\/span>TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.'”<\/span>
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices<\/i> FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them<\/i>” (which are offered according to the Law),
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it<\/i> out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John 1:14, 17 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John 18:38 (NASB) <\/strong>
\n38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PUNCTUATION<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"hebrew<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NASB)
\n<\/strong>16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nIII. The Forecast Concerning God’s Word<\/span> <\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

HEAVEN’S REBUKE<\/h3>\n
