Bible, Women & Bathrobes, Episode 43

Sermon on the Mount, part 22

Summary

Tamara Anderson and Amy Johnson discuss Matthew 7:12-14 from the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing the Golden Rule and its complexity. They explore the balance between loving God and loving others, highlighting the importance of treating others as we wish to be treated. Amy shares personal insights on the challenges of maintaining this balance, especially during difficult times. They also delve into discussing the strait/narrow gate that leads to life and the broader path that leads to destruction. The conversation underscores the need for repentance, forgiveness, and a strong relationship with God to navigate these commandments effectively.

Main Takeaways

·     From Amy, “And then I also had this thought about God and how He He didn't give me prayer necessarily for him. He didn't give me scriptures for him. He gave me those things for me, and and so all of this is about what has he given me to have a healthy relationship with him, and what am I giving him so that I can have a relationship that's healthy with others?”

·     From Tamara, “I think this is a process. I know absolutely every day, every week, every month. You know that, oh, God, I messed up again, and here I am at the Cross once more, laying my burdens at your feet and asking you to take it and help me fix this. Help me become new in you again, because I make mistakes all the time. You know it is, it is a constant process of inviting him in, not giving up on ourselves, not just saying, Oh, the Heck, I've done too much wrong, although sometimes we may feel that way. That's how Satan wants us to feel, you know, like, oh, I have done too many things wrong. God doesn't want me. God always wants you.”
