Jesus's teaching in the Sermon on the Mount makes clear that he is more concerned with our internal righteousness than he is mere superficial outward obedience to the law. What does this have to do with the anger that we often feel toward others? How can we become more forgiving, and what role does the gospel play in setting us free from bitterness?

Most people would love to have a personal relationship with God, but what does that even mean? How do you have a relationship with someone you can't see and who likely won't speak audibly to you? In Psalm 63, we are given a picture of someone who expresses a desperate need for God's presence, and we are shown how they were able to draw near to God.
As we seek to love God and others, where can we find our confidence and security in our relationship with God? Ultimately, our hope is rooted in what Jesus has done and continues to do for us.
