Detailed explanation-3: -Jesus taught his followers that those who live good lives and follow his teachings will be rewarded with eternal life in God’s kingdom. Jesus also taught that those who commit sins and turn their back on God will receive eternal punishment in Hell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Jesus taught, “Blessed are the merciful” (Matthew 5:7), and “Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful” (Luke 6:36). Mercy is defined as compassion and includes feelings and acts of sympathy, kindness, forgiveness, and love.
Detailed explanation-5: -It teaches that God’s children are those who act like God. The teachings of the sermon are often referred to as the “Ethics of the Kingdom": they place a high level of emphasis on “purity of the heart” and embody the basic standard of Christian righteousness.
Detailed explanation-6: -The word ‘love’ has a number of different meanings. Christians believe that God has unconditional and enduring love for all human beings, known as agape. They believe that he showed this love by sacrificing his son, Jesus, to atone for human sin. In this sense, agape is also a self-sacrificing kind of love.
