Matthew 6 Summary

Matthew 6 continues the Sermon on the Mount, teaching on giving, prayer (the Lord’s Prayer), fasting, treasure, and freedom from anxiety.

Jesus warns against doing good to be seen, teaching sincere giving, prayer, and fasting done for God alone. He gives the model prayer—‘Our Father in heaven’—centered on God’s name, kingdom, and will.

He calls for treasure in heaven, undivided loyalty (‘you cannot serve both God and money’), and freedom from worry: seek first God’s kingdom, and the Father who feeds the birds will care for you.
