The Sermon On The Mount Is Very Much More Than A Sermon. Mr. Davisargues That It Characterizes The Core Principles For Those Whowould Be Disciples Of Christ. Specifically The Sermon On The Mountargues That Its Thesis Is That God Calls People To Voluntarilyrepent Of Sins And Too Voluntarily Accept The Responsibility Forcomplying With What Jesus Calls The Righteousness That Surpassesthe Righteousness Of The Scribes And Pharisees Apart From Which Noone Can Expect To Attain To The Kingdom Of Heaven. Davis Arguesthat The Application Of Christ?S Principles Is Grounded In Thefundamental Reality That ?Sin Is Inherently Dysfunctional? And Theonly Remedy Is Repudiating Dysfunction And Complying With Holiness.Davis Further Argues That To Comply With Holiness Must Begin Incharacter Transformation Such That The Kingdom Disciple Performsrighteous Deeds From A Righteous Character.
