The infamous 'Sermon on the Mount' which contain the 'Beatitudes' and is preached by almost every pastor in Christianity these days... Matthew 4:17 through Matthew 7:29.
According to the gospels, Jesus himself taught the way of God so of course, one would naturally 'think' that the 'Sermon on the Mount' is the way of God. Well, it was - to the Jews, but it was forbidden to the Gentiles.
So today, we need to realize that the apostle Paul, according to the Scriptures, taught the way of God more perfectly? 'More perfectly' means 'the rest of the story!' There is more to the Sermon on the Mount these days and Paul was the one called to teach it 'more perfectly.
Simply put, the way of God was taught to the Jews by Jesus and NOT to the Gentiles while the way of God more perfectly was taught by the RISEN CHRIST to Paul intending it all to be taught to the Gentiles and NOT to the Jews.

Back in 2009, I taught a 20 sermon series on The Sermon on the Mount. Let's go back now and review-study it again. You will hear just about everything you need to hear to understand Paul's 'Way of God More Perfectly!'
Honestly, and certainly not because I was the preacher at that time, but the amount of study material in these sermons is amazing to me. They are all approximately an hour in length and contain a 'ton' of Scriptures.
Unfortunately, we are obviously living in the latter times, (not last days, yet) during the days when more and more people will not endure sound doctrine but if you have the desire and will take the time, you too will be amazed at the way of God more perfectly and will truly understand the peace and joy from knowing the doctrine from the RISEN CHRIST and why Paul is the only apostle to the Gentiles. You will truly see the simplicity that is in Christ in action.
This entire series is also available 'for now' on YouTube at 'Retired Music Educator.'
