What does the Bible say about the Sermon on the Mount?

The Sermon on the Mount encompasses Jesus' teachings from Matthew 5:1 to Matthew 7:29. In this declaration, our Lord emphasizes that he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). His message reveals that true righteousness is not merely following the letter of the law, as the Pharisees did, but a heart transformation that comes from faith in him. Christ teaches that the law exposes our sinfulness, declaring us guilty and in need of his righteousness, which is imputed to us through faith alone. This transformation leads believers to a life that reflects these truths, as they walk by faith, trusting in Christ’s perfect obedience and righteousness.
