TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS

We can look like very virtuous and devoted Christians
on the outside, while on the inside we are full of selfish
things, wrong attitudes, and less than holy intentions.
However, we cannot be virtuous and committed
Christians on the inside, without it radiating out of us
wherever we are. It's rather difficult to tell the chaff
from the wheat. We don't want to be whitewashed
tombs. So we will wash our hearts, along with our
hands.


Heavenly Father, we pray that you would show us our
own hearts and help us to rid our inner selves of any
thing that is not pleasing to you. Let us be clean before
you we ask in Jesus' name.


Read Matthew 5:20


"For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses
that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you
will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." (NIV)


"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." (KJV)
