A sanctified life

The Jewish leaders had developed 613 laws to explain or expand on the written Law of Moses. Additionally, an Oral Law consisting of rabbinic teaching passed down from one generation to the next was also taught as law. The Jewish people were expected to know and obey each of these laws and commandments to be considered righteous. Jesus said He had not come to abolish the law; instead, his life and teaching would fulfill that law. Jesus’ teaching would reveal God’s intention for the Law, and Jesus’ sacrifice would fulfill the requirements of the Law for all who received him as their Messiah. The Sermon on the Mount continues with Jesus’ explanation of the life that has been sanctified or made holy.

Jesus taught his followers to desire God’s sanctification. Use the model prayer to help you pray for your witness, your worries, and your relationships with others. Receive God’s response and allow Him to sanctify you and enable you to grow in his grace.
