Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Religion
The Matthew Biblical Exposition series you are now listening to consists of twenty-eight chapters and is divided into six volumes. This second volume covers Matthew chapters five through eight. The content is organized by topic and divided into three sections: Biblical Exposition, Sermon, and Questions and Answers. “Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20) Does a person become righteous enough to enter the kingdom of heaven by adding good deeds, keeping the Law, and ceaseless repentance and prayer? Beginning with the Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5, this book sequentially examines the fulfillment of the Law, the Lord’s Prayer, the Kingdom and righteousness of God, and the narrow gate and the house built on the rock, clearly revealing the “all righteousness” that God gives to sinners. Then, through the faith of the leper and the centurion, it clearly testifies that the righteousness of God and the remission of sins are not earned through human merit but are given to those who believe the gospel of the water and the Spirit fulfilled by Jesus. If you have instead been condemned before commands you cannot keep, or have never been sure whether you are a righteous person who will enter the kingdom of heaven, discover through this book the perfect righteousness of salvation God Himself has accomplished. ● Scripture quotations used in this book are from the ‘New King James Version (NKJV)’, ‘American Standard Version (ASV)’. ● This audiobook is an original human creation based on the sermons of Rev. Paul C. Jong. To provide clear delivery and a comfortable listening experience, AI technology was employed only for the voice generation.

Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). People easily think of these words only as a method of getting what they want. They think that if they ask much and act zealously, God will finally change His mind and give…
