Understanding Why - Why The Sermon On The Mount Is Important - Zac Poonen(Malayalam)
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires more than just intellectual understanding of doctrine; it demands a complete surrender of one's will to God's will, likened to building a house on rock rather than sand. The core message is to live out the teachings of Jesus, particularly the Golden Rule, by treating others as one wishes to be treated. Ultimately, building the church requires consistent, practical application of Christ's commands in daily life, not just hearing them.
