How to apply the Sermon on the Mount today?

This is a complex theological question that different Christian denominations and scholars interpret in various ways. I'll provide an overview of the main perspectives:

Traditional Christian View:
Most mainstream Christian denominations and theologians consider the Sermon on the Mount (found in Matthew chapters 5-7) to be highly relevant for Christians today. They view it as:

A core teaching of Jesus that outlines Christian ethics and lifestyle.
Applicable to all believers, not just a specific group or time period.
A guide for how to live as citizens of God's kingdom in the present age.

Dispensationalist View:
Some Christians, particularly those adhering to dispensationalist theology, interpret the Sermon on the Mount differently:

They may see it as primarily addressed to Jews, particularly in the context of the coming Kingdom.
Some argue it applies specifically to the Tribulation period or the Millennial Kingdom.

This view suggests the Sermon contains rules for entering the Kingdom, rather than instructions for the church age.

Balanced Approach:
Many Christians take a middle ground:

They see the Sermon as having immediate relevance to Jesus' Jewish audience.
They also view it as containing timeless ethical principles applicable to all believers.
They may interpret some parts as specifically related to the Kingdom, while others are universally applicable.
