Matthew 6 - Introduction
A Look At The Actions Required Matthew Six
Matthew six is the second part of the scripture in that section known as the "Sermon on the Mount." (Matthew 5, 6, & 7) This chapter shows some of the actions that Jesus requires. Saving faith demands more than just belief saving faith requires actions.
In Matthew six Jesus taught against hypocrisy in the practice of charitable deeds. (Matthew 6:1-4) He taught that prayers should be simple, sincere and from a pure heart. (Matthew 6:5-8) Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. (Matthew 6:9-15) He also taught about fasting (Matthew 6:16-18), the evil of being worldly-minded (Matthew 6:19-24), and worry. (Matthew 6:25-34)
