Paul has just introduced the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus. He has shown that salvation is apart from the law by the propitiation of Jesus. Because this is true, some other things must also be true in our lives.

God gave the first promise of the coming savior in the garden after the fall. The promise is that a "seed" will come to destroy the serpent's work and that God would put enmity between His people and the serpent's. The birth of Jesus inaugurated the fulfillment of that promise and it will be consummated in the new creation.

Jesus teaches believers how we are to respond to those who hate us. The context is personal persecution and mistreatment for Christ's sake. He commands that we do good, bless, and pray for those who hate and curse us. He gives examples and tells us the reason why we are to live this way as believers. It is because our God is merciful and we show the world who He is when we are merciful.

Jesus preaches the sermon on the level describing what a life in right relationship with God looks like. The "blessed" life is not what most people expect. Jesus is giving a description of what this life looks like - it is those who are poor, hungry, mournful, and hated. That is not what a "blessed" life looks like to the world.

Jesus, facing increasing opposition, chooses the 12 Apostles from among His disciples. He secludes Himself on a mountain and prays all night before making the choice. The choosing of the 12 is born from increasing opposition, communion with the Father, and a dependence upon His power. These are the same things that characterize the church and the Christian life.
