Sažetak

The Decalogue is a great religious and moral chart of freedom. The Ten Words are ten liberties. In christian doctrine and christian ethics they constitute the essential base which is readily accesible to the practice of christian life. Moral life should not be reduced to mere observation of the law. The life of a christian represents harmony between the mystery of salvation and moral teachings.
The Sermon on the Mount is the heart of the evangelical message. It is the fundamental instruction for the new path of salvation which was open atxdproposed to the community of disciples. The Sermon is Jesus' demand to practice it in life. Originally the Sermon was directed to the Twelve, and through them to Israel, in order to give them a radical interpretation of God's will and divine law, in an atmosphere of the Kingdom which is very close. The Sermon on the Mount is the fulfillment of the Decalogue.
In our preaching cathechesis and ethics the Decalogue remains a tes-timony of God's will, a guiding principle for our way towards eternal home. But we should interpret is in the light of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and its authority.
