Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this portion of his discourse on the Sermon on the Mount, Steve Gregg discusses the often-misunderstood passage of Matthew 5:17-20. He emphasizes that the loyalty and reverence for the law and prophets in the Old Testament scriptures are tantamount to the reverence for God himself.

Additionally, he distinguishes between ritual and moral laws and explains how they relate to New Testament teachings.
