The King's Standard
In this powerful exploration of Matthew 5:17-20, we delve into the profound truth that Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. This message challenges us to reconsider our approach to God's word and its authority in our lives. We're reminded that every jot and tittle of Scripture matters, and that we can't simply pick and choose which parts to follow. The call to surpass the righteousness of the Pharisees isn't about outward performance, but about allowing Christ's perfect righteousness to transform us from within. As we grapple with cultural pressures and personal desires, this message urges us to build our lives on God's unchanging word, yield to the Holy Spirit's guidance, and walk closely with fellow believers. It's a stirring reminder that true godliness isn't about image, but about heart transformation and living out God's truth in every aspect of our lives.
