Jesus didn’t come to erase the Law, He came to fulfill it.

He invites us into a righteousness that goes deeper than appearance, one that transforms us from the inside out.

We are called to live as citizens of a righteous Kingdom marked not by perfection, but by a heart surrendered to grace.

Message based on Matthew 5:17-20

Quotes: John Calvin: Having take upon himself the burden of unrighteousness with which we were oppressed, he has clothed us with his righteousness

Duane Brooks: We don’t have any righteousness by which we can save ourselves…But we must not assume from that, that that means then we are just never going to do right.

Carl Truman: We live in this day of expressive individualism by which we assume that who we are, our identity is wrapped up in what we feel. But in fact there’s a different view of that in scripture. It turns out that I’m not who I feel so that I can do whatever I want to do. Instead I am who God says I am.
