Most people think the way to attain eternal life is by being good. This line of thinking evaluates righteousness as a point system, concluding that someone will get into heaven if their good works outnumber their bad deeds.
But this is nonsense! The law was never intended to be a means to earn righteousness. It was given to guard us, to bless us, and to show us our unrighteousness so that we would be led to Jesus, who will provide us with His righteousness. Jesus confronts this current understanding repeatedly in the Sermon on the Mount with this simple statement: “You have heard that it was said to those of old…but I say to you…” Watch our study of Matthew 5:21-48 as we listen to the words of Jesus and re-evaluate the current understanding of righteousness.
