Matthew 6:1-15 Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving

In this teaching, Jesus calls disciples to a faith life centered on the Father. Whether giving, praying, or forgiving, do not seek human praise, but act before the Father who sees in secret. True faith is cultivated in private communion with God with pure motives. The Lord’s Prayer is not just a pattern but a lifestyle: honoring God’s name, longing for His kingdom, depending on His provision, receiving His forgiveness, and extending forgiveness to others. Finally, Jesus emphasizes the absolute necessity of forgiveness—those who receive God’s forgiveness must become forgiving people.
