ALL THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTAIN HAS IS FULFILLMENT IN CHRIST

Isa 55:1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Isa 55:2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Isa 55:3 Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.

Ps 100:1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Ps 100:2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Ps 100:3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Ps 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
Ps 100:5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Kerwin.

Those that has come out of babylon and have dwelleth
in the great city Jerusalem,the city of God.
Those are them that seek for righteousness.
Those are them that have the renewing of the mind.
Those are them that truly hunger for the truth and righteousness.
Those are them that are filled with the Holy spirit.
Those are them that have been eating the flesh of Christ.
Those are them that abstain from eating strange flesh.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
****for they shall be filled****.

Do you still have to ask?
Of course is that a promise.

To all,

Thank you.

I also believe it is a promise that those whose soul hunger and thirst to be righteous as God is righteous will be filled with a righteousness that is like God's.

It this promise fulfilled by those that adhere to the new covenant?
