Gospel: Righteousness Received Not Earned

What if your biggest struggle isn’t your behavior but your heart?

In this message from Matthew 5, Jesus raises the bar from external rule-following to heart-level transformation. Anger, lust, divorce, retaliation, enemy love—He exposes what’s underneath it all and shows us that righteousness isn’t earned, it’s received. The gospel doesn’t shame us into trying harder; it gives us a new heart and compels us to live differently because Christ first loved us.
Are you trying to justify yourself or are you resting in the justification of Jesus?
