In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talks much about the significance and estimation of the Law: "For really I let you know, until the point when heaven and earth vanish, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means vanish from the Law until the point when everything is expert" (Matthew 5:18). The achieving of the Law was acknowledged in Jesus Himself, who came to satisfy the Law (verse 17). In verse 19, Jesus says, "Thusly any individual who puts aside one of the least of these charges and shows others in like manner will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, however whoever rehearses and instructs these orders will be called awesome in the kingdom of heaven."
As such, the Law is impeccable and sacred, and each order that God gave is similarly vital. The commandments are so imperative, Jesus stated, that on the off chance that someone puts aside what may be viewed as "one of the least" of them, at that point that person will be called "least in the kingdom of heaven." Conversely, the person who instructs the entire Law—and obeys it—will be called "extraordinary" in the kingdom.
It is vital to remember to whom Jesus was talking in the Sermon on the Mount, namely, Jews in Israel who were still under the allotment of the Law. At the time of Jesus' deliver to the hoards in Matthew 5, the Law was in full impact; the sanctuary was standing, the sacrifices were being offered, and the cloak was in place. When we make utilization of Jesus' words to the church today, we have to distinguish between the moral laws that God gave and the stately and common laws. At the point when Jesus cried, "It is finished!" from the cross, some laws, for example, those directing sacrifice and love, were clearly satisfied in light of the fact that Christ Jesus was the last and finish sacrifice. Different orders, for example, the charge not to murder or lie, are still as substantial now as ever. In the event that there is any uncertainty, the moral laws are rehashed in the New Testament epistles, while alternate laws (concerning diet, recognition of days, and so on.) are not rehashed for the church.

One day, Jesus will come back to the earth to set up His kingdom (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:15). Jesus' reference to the "least in the kingdom of heaven" in Matthew 5:19 recommends that there will be distinctive levels of respect in the kingdom. The criteria utilized for relegating honor appear to be founded on the treatment of God's Word.
The individuals who got God's Word and satisfied their obligations in God's sight will be called "extraordinary," yet the individuals who rejected parts of God's Word and evaded their duties will be called "least." This relates to the devotees' appearance before the judgment seat of Christ one day, where we will be rewarded in view of how loyally we served Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). Some of us will "endure misfortune" when our work "will be appeared for what it is" and its quality does not breeze through the test (see 1 Corinthians 3:11– 15).
Immediately in the wake of talking about the individuals who are least in the kingdom of heaven, the Lord Jesus in a roundabout way censures the Pharisees and religious instructors for their wrongdoing concerning the Law: "For I disclose to you that unless your exemplary nature outperforms that of the Pharisees and the educators of the law, you will absolutely not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:20). The Pharisees, at that point, were cases of the individuals who "put aside" some of the commandments, and they would languish shame over it (see likewise Mark 7:1– 13). Not exclusively did their activities decrease some parts of the Law, yet they had no obvious exemplary nature—since they dismissed Christ.

In synopsis, Jesus showed that the Law is good (Matthew 5:18– 19), and the exemplary nature of the Law is satisfied in Himself (verse 17). His message was not in opposition to the Law; rather, His words confirmed the Law and His works achieved the Law. The individuals who lightly regard God's Word will themselves be lightly esteemed. Enormity in the kingdom of heaven won't be founded on one's endowments yet upon how one handles the Word of God (see 2 Timothy 2:15).
We should always posses the spirit of Good seed.
When you accept christ in your life you have already made a decision of being with him and working for him through your believe
its tells us what the lord will definiatelly do for you , the lord has made a clear way and prepare the perfect way for us
God gave you his word in the bible , he gave you everything you need as christain to be protected and guilded do not be desieved by anybody.
The church we attend sometimes we always be a part of distruction to all of those who practice the culture of a particular church which is sometimes away from what the bible teaches.
God loves you in all you do.
Our Christian growth would be directed towards the things which the Lord wants from us and his
It is the prayer of every Christian to make heaven, thanks for sharing this amazing post with the steemchurch
Jesus told his disciples about who was greatest in the kingdom. There are children born of the law (flesh) and those born of the Spirit (Grace). In God's kingdom, children born of Grace are of higher rank. Those born of the flesh still see wealth and fame and power as being associated with greatness. Those born of the Spirit, however, are servants. John represented the LAW and the prophets while Jesus represented unmerited Grace. Note that at Jesus baptism, John said 'it is I who needs to be baptized by you'.
God has sent His only begotten son to come to the world and show us the way and the truth.
God has also made available His word to be guiding us on how to live for Him.
He has also given us the Holy Spirit to be helping us in the race. We just have to keep following His laid down principles, those that accpet the goodnews will reign with Him and those that reject it will be the least in His kingdom
We all firstly need to acknowledge the problem at hand: first by realizing there is no escape from God's judgment. There is no other way around being judged because God judges everyone, inside and out.
This is the message we preach here on STEEMCHURCH
JESUS IS COMING SOON
These words can't be comprehended by human reason; just different expressions of the Lord Jesus, talked in completely unique conditions, can clarify these words that reason us disarray: that the slightest in the Kingdom of Heaven is more prominent than the superb Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord.
Beautiful post. Something I caught was the fact that we have to let the word of God live in us and bring alive every good thing in our spirits. When we do this, we should have nothing to fear during judgement because we will know that we have lived a good life.
Many people round the world believe there is nothing that can be known about the timing of the Lord’s return because Jesus said He would return like a “thief in the night” (Matthew 24:42-44).
But i say we all should prepare for that day.
Because JESUS IS COMING REAL SOON
Great Post
The Bible also call the least'babes' and we children of God are all babes.I like what you said here'The individuals who got God's Word and satisfied their obligations in God's sight will be called "extraordinary," yet the individuals who rejected parts of God's Word and evaded their duties will be called "least' .
Continue the good works
Least in the kingdom of God sermon
The kingdom of God is the greatest give to man. The bible says that seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and other things shall be added to you.
God kingdom is prepared onky for the righteous, who is born again. God wants us to abide in his word so that we can be with him in his kindom.

Thanks for sharing
A lawless society is heading for ruin, hence, the laws of God are not burdensome but they become light that dispels the darkness and ignorance of our heart and mind. Nice one @mzintegrity.

These words cannot be understood by human reason; only other words of the Lord Jesus, spoken in entirely different circumstances, can explain these words that cause us confusion: that the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than the glorious Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord.
It takes an extraordinary person to understand the word of christ. A man in his carnal state cannot comprehend the words of someone who has come to fufil the law.
beautiful publication, words that lead to the soul, very well researched!
Nice sermon,thank God ,we are not under the law but under grace,the law is good but cannot make one good,it is holy but cant make one one holy,Christ has redeem us from the curse of the law,we are under grace,Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
