Matthew Chapter 6

Matthew 6 continues Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, teaching that true righteousness is practiced for God's approval rather than for the praise of others. Jesus instructs His followers about giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting, emphasizing sincerity and humility instead of public recognition. He teaches the model prayer, commonly known as the Lord's Prayer, and stresses the importance of forgiving others. Jesus also warns against storing up earthly treasures, encourages believers to seek heavenly treasures, and teaches that no one can serve both God and money. The chapter concludes with Jesus encouraging His followers not to worry about their daily needs but to trust their heavenly Father, seeking first God's kingdom and His righteousness.
