That We May Know Him

Who is True

All That Jesus Taught-Lesson 21

All That Jesus Taught-Lesson 21

March 2, 2026 Marion Merriweather Comments 0 Comment

In this continuation of the All That Jesus Taught study, this message explores Matthew 6 and Jesus’ command that giving, prayer, and fasting must be done in secret before God rather than to gain honor from men. It contrasts Old Covenant practices such as public tithing with New Covenant principles of cheerful, voluntary, proportionate giving (2 Corinthians 9; 1 Corinthians 16:2). The teaching exposes the danger of “dead works” (Hebrews 6:1; Hebrews 9:14), meaningless repetition in prayer, and praying without faith. Emphasizing scriptures such as Matthew 5:20, Matthew 6:1–18, Romans 6:14, 1 John 1:7, Psalm 66:18, and Psalm 103, the message calls believers to purity of motive, secret devotion, repentance from dead works, and faith-filled prayer that seeks the Father’s reward rather than human applause.

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
