No one can live up to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Many have tried to, but it exposes our spiritual depravity.
A proper view of the Sermon on the Mount always points to God’s grace, and then tells us how we are to live as God’s redeemed people. When we examine the nature of the kingdom of God we realize our depravity, and our need for the atoning death of Jesus Christ. This sermon of Jesus forces us to turn to Jesus Christ for salvation, and then demonstrates how we are to live as believers. When we study it we realize that we cannot possibly live up to its demands without God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ.
Here is a description of the person who has received the special favor of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This person lives above the chances, changes and circumstances of life. What are the spiritual characteristics of someone who is blessed by God?
