Romans 3:21-22 NLT But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
So many people want to add something to what Jesus has done to equal righteousness.
They want to add Jesus + Behavior Modification, Jesus + Fasting, Jesus + Church Attendance, or Jesus + Bible Reading.
All of these are good, but they don’t need to be added to Jesus to become righteous. Our belief in Jesus paying for our sins on the cross and our belief in His resurrection making intercession for us makes us righteous. Everything else is a byproduct of our righteousness.
Don’t get me wrong, changing bad behavior and reading the Bible are good things, but that doesn’t produce righteousness. Our belief in Jesus alone makes us righteous.
