Healing Relationships

Matthew 5:20–26

This passage discusses the idea that to reach heaven, our righteousness needs to surpass that of religious leaders, showing the power of faith in Jesus Christ and the need for immediate peace-making and settling disagreements. It highlights how crucial it is to live righteously in all areas of life, especially in our relationships, suggesting that as Christians, we should strive to reflect Jesus’s humility, sensitivity, wisdom, and kindness. The key message is that a changed life is the evidence that we truly belong to God’s kingdom.
