Mat 5:30 | MHM | STEP | v. 30 : Jesus repeats his warning: If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away (Matthew 5:30 ). He uses strong language to show how serious sin is. It is better to lose something precious than to lose your soul. Even though it is hard, obeying God is always for our good. Jesus also teaches that warning about judgment is an important part of preaching and living the gospel. We must be serious about turning away from sin, especially sins of impurity, so we do not end up separated from God forever.
