MATHEW 7. THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPELS

 We should not judge others that we also might not be judged; for in the measure we judge others, we also will be judged.

Why should you worry about the speck in your brother's eye and not see the log in your eye. Get rid of the log in your eye that you may see well to take the speck out of your brothers eye.

The log is the wrong attitude to those who are fallen which says like the Pharisees, thank God I have not fallen like him/her...I do such and such ... _Luke 18:10-14_ 

If you get rid of the Pharisaical attitude you'll be merciful to your brother and be able to help Him out of the sin they are in.

Do not give that which is holy to dogs and pigs since they will trample them and then attack you

In other words, not everyone is interested in the gospel and you need discernment to know what to share with who. Otherwise you can share God's truth to 'dogs and pigs' and you get in unnecessary trouble.

Ask and keep on asking you'll receive, seek and keep on seeking and you'll find, knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened

A son who asks bread or fish from father who is evil never receives stone or snake. What about our Heavenly Father; how much good things will He give to those who ask Him?

The message of the whole bible is that you treat others just the same way you want them to treat you

Enter the narrow way- the way mentioned from chapter 5 to 7

Only a few find this way of living. 

Away from it is the wide way which majority prefer but do not realise that it leads to destruction

Beware of false prophets who come to you with the bible but they come to take advantage of you and also lead you to a life where you are comfortable living in sin.

A tree is known by it's fruits, you cannot pick a pawpaw from a thornbushes neither can you pick an orange from thornbushes.

A good tree produce good fruits and a bad tree produce bad fruit

The bad tree will be cut and thrown into the fire

Not every Christian who calls Jesus Lord, and is excited about it will inherit the kingdom of heaven.

It is only those who do the will of God in their lives who will enter

In that day many will bring a record of all their service they did in the church, the preaching, the gifts they exercised, and the works of charity...but they will be rejected because they lived in sin though they did all that. 

Sin is a very serious matter that even if you live all your life serving God, in live in sin, you will be cast into hell in the last day. Repent and turn away from sin

The wise person is the one who obeys the teachings of Jesus and the foolish person is the one who is only excited in listening but does not practice what He learnt in the message of the Gospels.

When the temptations and challenges of life come, the wise person will remain standing and continue being true to Christ Knowing that God is still in control but the foolish will give up His faith or compromise and murmur against God and the circumstances not realising that it is His foundation of disobedience which is wrong

Thus let us have the right foundation of obedience to the message of the gospels

You are blessed to be a blessing
