MATTHEW CHAPTER 6 - Laying up Treasure in Heaven - (With Footnotes)




MATTHEW CHAPTER 6 

- Laying up Treasure in Heaven - (With Footnotes)


🌎 [Matthew 6:1-8]

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Notes:

  (See Matt. 6:7-8)… We don’t perform for God because God provides all our needs for free. (See Matthew 7:7-11 and Romans 8:32.
Romans 8:32 says: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”)

  Performing for God is doubt and pride, and it is glorying in the flesh. It is having confidence in the flesh (or oneself). (See Galatians 6:11-14 and Philippians 3:3-10.)

  Philippians 3:3 says: “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”
