Self Righteous vs. God Righteous
Judge not lest you be judged for the same judgment you use will be used against you. Those of you who teach others not to… Do you not do the very things that you teach others not to do? This was some of the key points that Jesus taught.
- Do we try to pull the speck from our brothers’ eye?
- Are we truly the righteousness of God through Jesus?
- Or are too busy basking in our own righteousness.
- Self-righteousness is No righteousness.
Jesus was at no time self-righteous. He knew and taught that His righteousness was from the Father. Our righteousness is to come from Jesus.
We are the righteousness of God THROUGH Christ Jesus.
Our own righteousness is as filthy rags worthy only of the garbage pile at Gehenna. Love God first and others the same as we love ourselves. No greater love has any man than this, that he lay down his life for another. Love covers a multitude of sins. If you are busy loving others, just as they are for that is how we are loved by God, then you will be too busy to be sinning.
Just food for thought today.
