What does scripture indicate about us keeping the standards in Matthew 5:3-10?
Matthew 5:3-10 presents a very high standard of godly character. Since Christians still struggle with sin, are these qualities intended as ideals that believers grow toward rather than standards that can be perfectly fulfilled in this life?
Matthew 5:2 - 12
ESV - 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
