Not My Righteousness
Righteousness is one of the most misunderstood truths in the Christian walk. Too often, we measure ourselves by our obedience, our discipline, or our progress—forgetting that none of those things ever made us right with God. In this episode, we confront the lie of self-righteousness and return to the liberating truth of Scripture: righteousness is not achieved, it is received.
Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, we explore how God has always opposed pride in human effort and how true righteousness is found only in Christ. This episode calls listeners to lay down spiritual boasting, embrace grace, and walk confidently in what Jesus has already accomplished.
