Abstract

The prophetic concept of a new covenant appears to be the key to the question of how the Gospel of Matthew depicts the life of believers in obedience to the commandments of God. This is made possible by the fact that God forgives all sins and puts his Spirit in the hearts of people, so that they are enabled to fulfil his will. Even though the new covenant is hardly mentioned in Matthew's Gospel, that is because it is written to a community of baptized believers in which the new covenant is presupposed as the foundation of their Christian life. The essential obligation also to forgive others is stressed in 6.14-15 and in the parable of the unforgiving servant (18.23-35), and the necessity of heart-transformation can be seen besides in the Matthean use of the metaphor of the heart.
