The Sermon on the Mount

Chapter 20

One day Jesus taught His disciples the gospel on a mountainside by the Sea of Galilee. Matt. 5:1

He told them how to live so that they could be happy and live with Heavenly Father again. The things He taught them will make us happy, too. Matt. 5–7

We should be gentle, patient, and willing to follow the Lord. Matt. 5:5

We should try as hard as we can to be righteous. Matt. 5:6

We should forgive people who hurt us or make us feel bad. If we forgive them, Heavenly Father will forgive us. Matt. 5:7

We should be peacemakers, love other people, and help them love each other. Matt. 5:9

We should not be afraid to tell people about the gospel or to tell them that we love Heavenly Father. We should do good. When other people see us do good, they might believe in God, too. Matt. 5:14–16

We should always keep our promises. Matt. 5:33–37

And just as we want others to be nice to us, we should be nice to them. Matt. 7:12

Jesus said that if we do these things, we will be happy, God will bless us, and we will live with Heavenly Father again. Matt. 5:2–12
