bible study 7

We discussed the end of the sermon on the mount which is found in Matthew 7: 12-27.  Here is the link http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A12-27&version=ESV

Discussion Questions: 

What does Verse 12 mean for our lives?
What is the narrow gate?
What does Jesus mean by fruit?
What is the difference between I never Knew you and doing the will of my father?
What is our foundation?
Summary Thoughts: 
The end of the Sermon on the Mount is one of the most challenging sections in the bible.  It is the call to love your neighbor as yourself and do to God's will.  It is ultimately the call to enter the narrow gate which leads to life.  The call is clear that everything not done for the glory of God is sinking sand.  The foundation of life is found in entering the narrow gate which is following Christ himself.  These sections challenge us to see that we must follow Christ and love God with all our heart, might and soul as well as loving your neighbor as yourself.
