The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg provides a biblical analysis of the Sermon on the Mount, specifically focusing on the topics of murder and adultery. He notes that while the Old Testament law focused on outward obedience, Jesus emphasizes a heart change and the weightier matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Jesus also emphasizes that even anger and lust are sins in the eyes of God, and that restitution cannot be made for murder. Gregg's analysis emphasizes the importance of aligning our hearts with God's desires and valuing the weightier matters of the law.
