ROMANS 10:1
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
I have seen that a lot has been preached and spoken spoken about God and Jesus and people seem to be pursuing Godliness and Godly righteousness which is a great and marvelous thing.
The only problem comes when the truth is not being presented to them.When falsehood has is presented to you in the name of truth, when real truth comes it seems strange.
Jesus said,
''If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!'' - MATTHEW 6:23
If you do not admit that you are a failure,you are powerless,you know nothing -you are still a genius and not fit for the Kingdom of God - 'This I speak as a man in human terms.'
Jesus said,
"20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. -MATTHEW 5:20
-This verse was the words of Jesus shading more light about his mission on earth and I believe many have wrongly interpreted this verse.
-NOTE that Jesus wasn't in support of the Pharisees and Sadducees or was he saying that they had anything to be followed ,but a living warning to those that were living and also to us who a alive (1 THESSALONIANS 4:15)
What he was saying is, Pharisees and Sadducees had the law which they were pursuing and they were doing all their best to please their rulers.If it's about fasting,they were doing it adding with thier outside appearance to make sure they were recognised as the obedient citizens and couldn't fight anyone who break the rules thought they even were not doing it right according to the Christ way.
They had a highest standards in following the law yet breaking it.This shows that if heaven to be attained by that way of living or by self righteousness,they were to be the champions yet Jesus disqualified them.
_If you then a commoner want to attain heaven in that way of righteousness,it means you have to do something more than this Pharisees and Sadducees way.Jesus with this Shows that anyone who tries it is doomed to fail,so he offered himself the real salvation and righteousness of God.
Righteousness is not a wage/salary for doing good or his Grace attained by paying, buying or offering something either cash or kind.He Jesus is the gift of righteousness and Grace, otherwise we would have something to bost on.-ROMANS 4:2/
or if we had anything to add,then we make Jesus a liar and having died for nothing- GALATIANS 2:21
Jesus said,come and by without money, this package if for free.PRAISE THE LORD🙏
