God’s Standard Is Perfection — So Who Can Be Saved? | Keys To The Kingdom

In this message from Matthew 5, we step into one of the most challenging sections of the Sermon on the Mount.  Jesus doesn’t just address outward behavior — He goes straight to the heart.
Not just murder, but anger.
Not just adultery, but lust.
Not just loving your neighbor, but loving your enemies.  And then He says something that stops us in our tracks:  “You must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”  If that’s the standard… who can be saved?  This sermon walks honestly through the tension of God’s holiness and our inability to meet it — and then leads us to the hope of the Gospel:
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  If you’ve ever felt the weight of falling short, this message is for you.
