Scriptural text:
The Way to be Right With God
Self-righteousness is like a bottomless cup: though you pour and pour, you will never be able to fill it.
Why?
Because pouring yourself into yourself adds nothing to you.
Nothing plus nothing always equals nothing.
Instead, accept God’s righteousness rather than trying to accumulate your own.
You will find that the righteousness he offers is real.
And that is what fills the cup of sanctification.
Michael P. Green, 1500 Illustrations for Biblical Preaching (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2000), 327.
Introduction
tells us that the world needs to get right with God.
And that men without the law, the heathen, are taught by nature and conscience(message: The Self-Evidence of Truth).
However, they have sinned by falling short of the standard of righteousness given to them ():
This includes the “moralist”, a person who lives a moral and clean life, but he judges others because they do not live as he thinks they should.
He is moral, upright, just, good, decent, and honorable.The "religionist(Jews)” professes religion.
He accepts the name of his religion whatever it may be, whether Jew, Moslem, or Buddhist; and he shows enough interest in his religion to give him security.
Their problem is they don’t live or obey the Word of God.
Therefore, all have sin and fallen short of God’s standard!
With this understanding we need to know “The Way to be Right With God.”
Righteousness is “The Way to be Right With God”
