"The Righteousness of God vs. the Righteousness of Man"
Sunday Service || Word of God.
Prophet David Mokgotho.
The righteousness of God is a gift received through faith in Jesus Christ, not through human effort or personal achievements. In contrast, self-righteousness is based on works and seeks the approval of men.
Although believers may have weaknesses and make mistakes, God's righteousness remains with those who are willing to repent and receive His correction. King David is an example of a man who, despite his failures, continually turned back to God with a repentant heart.
The Scriptures teach that no one is righteous by their own works . We are justified by faith and created for the good works God has already done .
We are saved by grace through faith and are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.True righteousness begins within. [Ephesians 2:8].
Unlike the Pharisees, who focused on outward appearances, God desires inward transformation. Genuine righteousness produces humility, obedience, and dependence on Him.
According to [Matthew 5:20]reminds us that our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees, while [ Matthew 12:34] teaches that the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.People may have zeal for God without truly knowing Him.
Many seek to establish their own righteousness instead of submitting to the righteousness of God.
Likewise, Cornelius in [ Acts 10 ]discovered that good works alone could not save him; he needed Jesus Christ.[ Romans 10:3].
Jesus taught in [Matthew 6:33 ]that we must seek first the Kingdom of God, and everything else will be added according to His will.
Therefore, let us abandon self-confidence and draw near to God.
The righteousness of God is received by faith and nurtured through repentance, obedience, and a continual walk with Christ.
