A Higher Level of Righteousness

Matthew 5

Inspired thots

There are two kinds of righteousness: righteousness of GOD and righteousness of the Pharisees - man.

God's righteousness brings Fulfillment and Completeness while the righteousness of the Pharisees is only for now and a man-pleaser; a show-off; a self-seeking glory.

Hence, the words of Jesus in this chapter are to change hearers to His kind of righteousness; to turn people away from their own righteousness to His righteousness by caring for others and putting others before self
just like Jesus.

Jesus loves both the righteous and the unrighteous.
