Throughout that I already read in Matthew chapter 4 until chapter 7, I see that God is
preaching to people around there about what should people do and what should people
not do. The most challenging of Jesus says is Again, you have heard that it was said to
the people long ago, Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have
made. But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is Gods throne;
or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great
King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
All you need to say is simply Yes or No; anything beyond this comes from the evil
one. (Matthew 5: 33 37) It says that you cannot neglect it, if you make promises. You
cannot forget your promises to everyone, even promise to yourselves. The Christian truth
that I need to obey is all of the rules that Jesus said in the bible because I believe in God.
If I just believe in Him without doing what He said, it the same as you make a sin and
lying that you believe in God. Jesus action that I need Him to do for me is forgiveness
for all of my sins. Jesus rescued us from sins, but we as a human still make a lot of sins in
our life. Everyday we make Gods heart hurt because of our sins. How have you been
challenged to follow Jesus as His disciple? Its very challenging. Many things that make
you to do sins in this world. Every time you do something, you have to think twice. Is it
good things to do or not. Sometimes youre making a fault, when you think that youre

helping them, but theyre think that we make problem to them. We as a human still not
know when is the time to help people and when is not. We help people that didnt need
our help. If you want to be truly Gods follower, you need to do all things the scriptures
have said. Some of people said that they are Gods follower, but they didnt act like God
want to. Even if you already ask for forgiveness to God, We still make new sins. Sins are
hard to release in humans because we already make sins since we were born, but we can
reduce our sins by help others that need our help and try to bring justice in this world.
