It Begins
with
the Heart
Rev. Kay Carolino
5 January 2013
Marikina Foursquare Gospel Church
Matthew 5:13-20 (NLT)
Jesus’ Requirement

   Higher
   level
     of
righteousne
Matthew 5:19
19 So if you ignore the least

commandment and teach others to do
the same, you will be called the least in
the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone
who obeys God’s laws and teaches
them will be called great in the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 5:20
20…unless your righteousness

is better than the righteousness of the
teachers of religious law and the
Pharisees, you will never enter the
Kingdom of Heaven!
I. Murder
21 “You have heard that our ancestors

were told, ‘You must not murder. If you
commit murder, you are subject to
judgment.’
I. Murder

“raca” -idiot; good for
        nothing!

 “mowros”-fool;
         moron
I. Murder

Leave your
    gift
and go your
   way
II. Adultery
27 “You have heard the

commandment that says, ‘You must
not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say,
anyone who even looks at a woman
with lust has already committed
adultery with her in his heart.
II. Adultery
 It does not just happen when
actually committed but what is
        inside the heart
II. Adultery
II. Adultery
      “blepon”
continuously looking rather than just
      casting a passing glance.
II. Adultery
Jesus was asking the Christians
 to make a radical sacrifice or
   drastic measures to avoid
   temptations to sexual sin
II. Adultery
   I HATE
  DIVORCE!
II. Adultery
      God hates divorce
because of its devastating impact
        on family units.
      God hates violence
because it destroys people’s lives
   and causes fear in a society.
II. Adultery
11 This is what the LORD says:

  “The people of Edom have sinned
  again and again,
    and I will not let them go unpunished!
  They chased down their relatives, the Israelites,
  with swords,
    showing them no mercy.
  In their rage, they slashed them continually
    and were unrelenting in their anger.
John 3:6-12
6 Humans can reproduce

only human life, but the Holy Spirit
gives birth to spiritual life.
7 So don’t be surprised when I say,

‘You must be born again.’
John 3:6-12
8 The wind blows wherever it wants.

Just as you can hear the wind
but can’t tell where it comes from or
where it is going, so you can’t explain
how people are born of the Spirit.”
9 “How are these things possible?”

Nicodemus asked.
John 3:6-12
10 Jesus replied, “You are a respected

Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t
understand these things?
11 I assure you, we tell you what

we know and have seen, and
yet you won’t believe our testimony.
John 3:6-12
12 But if you don’t believe me when

I tell you about earthly things,
how can you possibly believe
if I tell you about heavenly things?
Genuine
Repentance
Ezekiel 18:30-32
30 “Therefore, I will judge each of you,

O people of Israel, according to your
actions, says the Sovereign LORD.
Repent, and turn from your sins.
Don’t let them destroy you!
Ezekiel 18:30-32
31 Put all your rebellion behind you,

and find yourselves a new heart and
a new spirit.For why should you die,
O people of Israel?
32 I don’t want you to die, says the

Sovereign LORD. Turn back and live!”
Get a
  new
new spirit
 heart
