Here are my answers.
What specific part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount did you find the most significant?
I chose Matthew 6: 9-13. This is where Jesus teaches the people how to pray. Philippians 4:6 it tells us in everything through prayer and petition, bring our requests to God. First Thessalonians 5: 17 tells us to pray continually. Communication is the key to any relationship, and our relationship with God is no different. If we want to learn more about Him, what He wants for us, and what it is He plans for us, we need to stay in continual prayer with Him and be ready to do what it is He wishes.
How can these teachings be applied to one’s personal life in today’s society?
From my personal experience, I have done a wonderful job of messing up my life when I haven't included Christ and kept Him at the center. How many of us have thought that we knew best, only to find out that we really don't. There is no one that knows us better and loves us more than God. Whether a non believer or a believer, His love is the same, and His wish is the same. Our relationship with God starts with prayer, and this is a prayer that should never stop till Christ returns.
Let's talk.
