#37 – Sermon on the Mount, Part 1, “DNA of the New Birth”

Podcast Audio and Video:

 

Sermon on the Mount, Part 1 – YouTube

 

 

Show Notes:

Matthew 5-7 is the teaching of our King, Jesus Christ, beginning a whole new covenant with mankind.

 

The 9 blessings, often called the beatitudes, taught by Jesus in Matthew 5-7 are the characteristics of the sons and daughters of God. These beatitudes are the DNA of the new birth as we become partakers of the divine nature of God.

 

God, our Father, puts His seed in us and births something very holy. In the new birth, we begin to see the character of God build inside, and instead of walking in the pride and lusts of our own heart, we take on the nature of God.

 

These 9 blessings are an evidence of something divine as we enter into the new covenant. They are the witness God wants the world to see and should be part of the entire Christian walk.

 

In this episode, we begin to see why these 9 blessings are humanly impossible to accomplish by ourselves. Instead, they are the work of the eternal Spirit of God and His Word in us and are only by operation of God.
