このコンテンツについて
The Sermon on the Mount represents both current and future realities of the Kingdom, but those are all inside out realities. What begins as a work of God in our heart moves outward into our actions and words. Jesus is drawing attention again here to external obedience versus internal intent.
Oaths were promises meant to encourage honesty before others, but it gave opportunity for some to form new ways of deceiving others. Jesus reminds others that these commands were about our integrity. Integrity begins with connecting our heart with our actions.
Be Honest Before GodHonesty and integrity must begin with being honest before God. You see this idea reflected so clearly in the Psalms. The psalms include prayers of praise, sorrow, and longing for God’s redemption. Commit to praying honestly and consider using these Psalms as a guide to give voice to your prayers.
Be Honest Before OthersAs citizens of this new Kingdom, we reflect a God who keeps His word. We must keep our word before others.
Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” We must remember that it all begins our heart sets the direction of our lives. We must be mindful of the condition of our hearts.
“But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.” - James 5:12
When our heart is trusting and following Christ, it reflects in our word and integrity before others.
Our honesty and integrity should reflect what we believe about God. Praise God, we can take Him at His word!
