Mat 5:29 | MHM | STEP | v. 29 : Jesus teaches that it is better to lose something valuable, like an eye, if it causes you to sin, than to let sin destroy your whole life (Matthew 5:29 ). This means we must be willing to give up anything that leads us to sin, even if it is difficult. We should resist temptation, avoid situations that make us stumble, and ask God for strength to live a pure life. It is better to deny ourselves now than to face God’s judgment later.

v. 29: Jesus teaches that it is better to lose something valuable, like an eye, if it causes you to sin, than to let sin destroy your whole life (Matthew 5:29 ^a). This means we must be willing to give up anything that leads us to sin, even if it is difficult. We should resist temptation, avoid situations that make us stumble, and ask God for strength to live a pure life. It is better to deny ourselves now than to face God’s judgment later.
