According to our father Jesus, one may enter heaven by following the laws and teachings of him. In St. Matthew’s writing, “The Sermon on the Mount”, Matthew explains the teachings of Jesus and how one may enter heaven when their time comes. In order to enter heaven one must live good in the intellectual word as well as the physical world, for the intellectual world is the most important. Jesus tells us, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil”(St. Matthew, 5:17). Jesus is here to complete our law by teaching us how to resist evil and live good in the intellectual world. In chapter five of, “The Sermon on the Mount” St. Matthews starts off by talking about jesus’s nine blessings. …show more content…
Matthews talkings about how Jesus thinks people should treat others the way they want to be treated. He states, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.”(St. Matthews, 7:1) and, “for with that judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged”(St Matthews, 7:2). Jesus is saying that if you judge others, you will be judged back. He explains that you shouldn't judge others for their imperfections when you have your own. We see a lot of this happening in today's society. For example, gay marriage. People often judge gays because they find liking the same gender to be “sickening” or “disgusting”. However, Jesus says it’s okay and Jesus says everybody has the right to love whomever they please. As long as you don't commit adultery and be good in the intellectual world, you will be okay.
In this writing, “The sermon on the Mount”, by St. Matthews we see how one may enter heaven and avoid going to hell. We must live good in the intellectual world because to Jesus it is the most important world. We must resist evil by giving kindness to those who persecute us. We must give alms in secret and we must pray in secret to prove to God we are not doing it for the attention. We must not judge others for their imperfections. We must love our father and follow our fathers teachings for which he claims will bring us to

"For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him."
Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, which became one the most unforgettable and recognized speech given in history. However, Jesus had given many other speeches during his time on Earth. Even if the Sermon on the Mount is the most famous speeches given by the Son of God, his other speeches are equally notable and influential.
The word describes that the way to salvation is through belief, or faith, in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Those who believe this and repent of their sins are redeemed. They will be accepted into heaven through Jesus. However, this proves to be a dangerous perspective on salvation. This statement can easily be misinterpreted. Some may think that as long as they believe in Jesus they have an ultimate “get out of jail free” card without a change in behavior. Stating that Jesus is Lord must be accompanied by a lifestyle that reflects his time on
In conclusion salvation is not as complicated as one might think. God wanted it to be easy for everyone to attain, and yet still some people deny him and refuse to hear his word due to their stub earn human nature.

On September 25, 2016 a sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Phillips at Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, DE where he serves as a co-pastor. His sermon titled There is a monster at the end of this sermon incorporated descriptive language to engage the listeners and encourage the congregation whom he serves to live out their missional goal to strengthen current community connections and to further new connections.
Is it possible to understand the gospel message, serve as an officer in a church, be sure of your salvation, and yet still not get into heaven when you die? Matthew, one of the original twelve disciples, answered this question clearly. Yes, on “that day”, many will stand before God and hear Him say, “I know you not; depart from me.” (Matthew 7:23 KJV)
The Messiah left the people hopeful by explaining how easy it is to enter the kingdom of Heaven. According to Matthew 5:3-12, the people with righteous hearts will definitely inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus inspires everyone to be humble, merciful, peaceful, and kind to one another, and he also mentions the importance of forgiveness and love several times, portraying his loving nature. Christ warns the nations to not fear persecution, because their reward in heaven will be great. Jesus mentions that Christians are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. However, salt without saltiness is worthless; hence, Christians without spiritual knowledge won’t get far in life. Christ motivates Christians to stand out by being loving, kind, compassionate; a reflection of Jesus so that unbelievers are eager to become Christians as well (New International Version, Matt.5:13-17). Additionally, he mentions the consequences of murder, adultery, and divorce. He talks about the sincerity of oaths and the importance of loving your enemies and giving to the poor. Jesus preaches about the importance of prayer because it is the way of communicating with the Lord. The Lord favors intimate and personal prayers over hypocritical prayers in public (New International Version, Matt.5.21-33,43, 6.1-5,25). Christ mentions the
...ou want acceptance into heaven you have to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. For Everyman his Good deed’s wasn’t enough for him to get him into heaven. He needs to accept Jesus Christ as his savior and surrenders himself before him.
"Behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Lk 17:21). "Seek ye first the kingdom of God ... and all ... things shall be added unto you" (Mt 6:33).
The Kingdom of Heaven, according to Thomas' Jesus, is within each one of us. This concept of god and the kingdom being a part of everyone is a common theme throughout the Bible (Lk 17:21). In the third saying, Jesus tells his followers that the way to gain access to this Kingdom inside us is to learn about ourselves. The knowledge that we came from the Kingdom (GTh 49), that we are "sons of the living father" (GTh 3), and that are human bodies and lives are not worth anything (GTh 87) are the keys to the Kingdom. If we do not know ourselves then we will not enter the kingdom and we will be in poverty forever (GTh 3). He also says that once we get back into the Kingdom there is nothing that we will not understand (GTh 6b).
