The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) prescribes the way of human flourishing, human happiness, human blessedness. In 5:17–18, the Lord Jesus reveals that such a life is lawful. The flourishing life is faithful to the word of God, all of it. The way to human flourishing has not changed one bit up the Incarnation. Those in the kingdom of God are committed to living in accordance with God’s word.
