As we come to the end of the Sermon on the Mount, we are reminded that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has been giving His disciples a powerful Kingdom message. Throughout Matthew’s Gospel, we discover one of its leading themes: the Kingdom of Heaven and the principles by which its citizens are called to live. Jesus teaches not only what the Kingdom is, but also how its truth must be applied to our daily lives. He wants every disciple, in every generation, to clearly understand the will of our Heavenly Father.
Jesus gives us a serious warning:
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’” — Matthew 7:21–23
These words remind us that outward religious activity is not the same as truly knowing Christ. Jesus also taught that there are two ways: the broad way and the narrow way. Not every path leads to God. He declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).
Knowing Jesus personally, trusting in His finished work on the cross, and following the will of God is the way He has provided for our salvation. Eternal life is not the result of man-made religion, religious performance, or human achievement. It is God’s gracious redemption accomplished through Jesus Christ.
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals God’s plan of redemption and continually points us toward Christ. Humanity may create many philosophies, traditions, and religious systems, but God has provided one way to the Father: Jesus Christ.
This truth may challenge the thinking of our culture, but truth remains truth. The ways created by humanity ultimately lead to emptiness, but God’s way leads to eternal hope, life, security, and reconciliation with Him.
May we truly know Christ, follow His will, and live according to His Kingdom principles.
God bless you. Have a blessed day. Love God and love people.
