Mateus 5:33-37 - SERMÃO DA MONTANHA #11

In this sermon on Matthew 5:33-37, Jesus confronts the hypocritical use of oaths and teaches about integrity, truth, and sincerity in speech. The religious leaders of the time had transformed oaths into mechanisms for manipulating words and escaping the truth. Christ, however, reveals that the citizens of the Kingdom should be known for their constant honesty, without the need for elaborate speeches or empty promises. Jesus teaches that the disciple's simple "yes" or "no" should be trustworthy. Truth should not depend on religious formulas, but on a transformed and upright heart before God. The Kingdom of Heaven produces people whose lives reflect truth, transparency, and fear of the Lord, even in their way of speaking. Text: Matthew 5:33-37 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” #Matthew5 #SermonOnTheMount #JesusChrist #Preaching #BiblicalExposition #ReformedTheology #KingdomOfHeaven #Truth #Integrity #Holiness #Gospel #Christianity #Bible #ExpositoryPreaching #WordOfGod
