Matthieu 5:21–26 (NEG79)

21 Vous avez entendu qu'il a été dit aux anciens: Tu ne tueras point; celui qui tuera est passible de jugement.

  • God the Holy Spirit is powerfully at work in the hearts of God’s people to help them live as kingdom citizens. When I hear of what Christ has done and realize that he is the fulfillment of law, I am encouraged to obey Jesus and to aim for the perfect standard of righteousness that he reveals to me in his teaching.

  • In particular, the Spirit helps me to seek reconciliation with those that I have wronged. He also impresses upon me the fact that my unrighteous anger is sinful and something that needs to be repented of.
