Topic: The Best Sinner

Matthew 5:20, “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Text: Matthew 5:17-22

What did Jesus mean? Since the Pharisees fasted twice each week, does this mean we have to fast three times each week? Since they paid tithes on everything, including spices, does this tell anyone who fails to tithe is doomed to hell?

No! Not. The Pharisees’ righteousness was based on their actions. Jesus is advocating righteousness based on faith in what He did for us.

Trusting in our actions will never grant us access to God. We may be better than others, but who wants to be the best sinner that ever went to hell? We have all sinned and come short of perfection, which God requires (Rom. 3:23).

The only one who was ever good enough to earn right standing with God is Jesus. And His righteousness is offered as a gift to anyone who will put their faith in Him as their Savior.

Jesus offers us a righteousness by faith that is so far superior to the self-righteousness that the Pharisees had that there is no comparison. This is the righteousness we need and is available only through faith in Christ.
