RIGHTEOUSNESS
Jesus said in Matthew 5:20 that “Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven.” This text is very clear--without a certain kind of righteousness no one would enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
If death catches you with sins you have been warned about in God’s word, and you did not get a chance to genuinely confess them, you will not inherit eternal life. God has given you everything you need to succeed--repentance, confession, forgiveness, the word of God, the Holy Spirit, the five-fold ministry, and if you miss Heaven you will have no one to blame but yourself.
I believe if nobody else remembers how to get into the kingdom of Heaven, God will remember because it is His kingdom, and He doesn’t suffer with memory loss like we do.
If the Apostles forget. God will remember.
If the Prophets forget. God will remember.
If the Evangelists forget. God will remember.
If the Pastors forget. God will remember.
If the Teachers forget. God will remember because it is His kingdom and He must know how to get into IT. Therefore, whose word will you choose to believe? God’s word or man’s word.
The Scribes and Pharisees were teachers of the law; but not doers of the law. This is the kind of righteousness that will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. On the other hand, the righteousness of teaching and keeping the law is the righteousness that will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 23:1-3 tells us,
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Mark 1:22 tells us, “And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.”
Teaching the word of God and not living the word of God is the righteousness that will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Grace and Peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God
INVITATION
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you would like to inherit eternal life. I will like to invite you to pray this simple prayer with me right now.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Thank you for forgiving me. Please come into my life and save me. I confess you as my Lord and Savior and believe in my heart that God has raised you from the dead, Amen.
I wish you congratulations, and would like to advise you to ask God to lead you to a church that teaches truth. Get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. May the Lord richly bless you and keep you, Amen.
