God's law is not a ten-step program to righteousness.

Good News Weekly Message

With a world of information at your fingertips, it’s often impossible to know what you can trust. But whether we’re searching for security in this life or certainty for the life to come, one trusted source has all the answers. Jesus’ words supply what we’re searching for most. This week we see how Jesus’ words are a trusted source in our search for righteousness. Whether it’s a right status before God or just wanting to be seen as a “good person” in the eyes of others, we all want righteousness. Our natural tendency is to search God’s law for the steps we must follow to attain it. Jesus, however, helps us see that searching the law for righteousness will always be futile. The righteousness we seek cannot come from anything we do but must come through faith in Christ’s perfect work for us.
