The Gospel of Matthew

I identify myself closely with the religion of “the Gospel of Matthew”. Growing up in the northern Mississippi city of Greenville, many beliefs and traditions are instilled in me many which are from the passages of Matthew as he looked upon the people he was speaking to at a sermon on a mount. Reading the passage the values that closely relate to my thoughts and beliefs will be explained

Starting from when he stated,” Bless the poor spirits, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3), which is stating that people who lack the word of God and live in spiritual poverty will be given entrance into heaven. It further goes on to explain that those people prey for others are comforted by God and that the world will belong to the gentle and lowly person. When you are kind and merciful to others you will receive mercy. The passage “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8), is saying that those who heart is pure, God shall manifest himself to them. The idea goes on to say that those who strive to live in peace will be considered the son of God, for God is the God of Peace. If you are prosecuted for believing in the word of God you will be received by God in the kingdom of heaven. Mathew


It is spoken that a person shall not kill and if you do you will answer to judgment, placed in prison and not be allowed out till you have paid back in full for you sin. When couples are married the idea that you should not cheat on your spouse is formed from an idea of Matthew 5:27, “thou shalt not commit adultery”. But, everyone who has looked at a woman and lusted for her has already committed that sin of adultery in heart. So, if your eye causes you to sin dig it out and toss it away, because it is said that it is better to loose and eye that you entire body to hell. To add to the adultery passage, it is stated that if you marry a divorced woman who is considered an adulteress is also accused of adultery in need of God help, a prayer is normally used. People pray for two different reasons. The first being, that a person doing so only to be seen and given a reward on earth to the extent of being thought of as a righteous person by others. The second reason is to be heard by God and God only. One passage explains that if those who want God to hear their word should go in private behind closed doors and speak to God with a pure heart shall receive their reward in heaven. We are asked to not use big excessive words or repeat the same words over again, because God already is aware of what we need before we ask him. The prayer is consider most important, because God is listening to our problems, wants and needs. The words; Our farther who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread: and forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us in to temptation, but deliver us from evil (Matthew 6:9-13). Is how you are asked to pray, when explained is to first acknowledge that God is the God of heaven and earth. That he is holy and asks that he allows his kingdom to come and God’s will will be done on earth just like it is in heaven. We then go would on to ask God to give us what we need, such as food and the word to live by each day, as well as ask for the forgiveness of our sins and forgiveness of those who have sinned against us. Lastly asking God not to be tempted by evil and save us from hell.
