How Good Is Good Enough? | Matthew 5:17-26 | Trinity 6

from Christ For You · host Pastor Rojas+

How Good Is Good Enough? | Christ For YouMatthew 5:20-26 | Trinity 6How good is good enough to get into heaven? Is it enough to be a good person? To keep the Ten Commandments? To be better than average? That’s what millions of people believe. But what if Jesus says even the most outwardly righteous people who ever lived weren’t good enough?In this Trinity 6 sermon, Pastor Rojas walks through Jesus’ shocking words from the Sermon on the Mount and shows that the Fifth Commandment was never merely about murder, but about the heart. Jesus exposes the impossible standard of God’s Law, leaving every sinner without excuse and every self-righteous hope shattered.But He doesn’t leave us there.Jesus did not come merely to teach the Law. He came to fulfill it. Every commandment He kept, He kept in your place. Every act of perfect obedience was rendered on your behalf. His death forgives your sins, and His perfect righteousness is given to you as a free gift through faith. If your death should come tomorrow, your eternal life does not depend on the life you lived, but on the life Christ lived for you.If you have ever wondered, “How good do I actually have to be to get into heaven?” this sermon has the answer. And that answer is not found in you. It is found in Jesus Christ, your righteousness.Subscribe & Share if this sermon strengthened your faith.🎧 Spotify: Christ For You🇧🇷 Portuguese Podcast (“Cristo Para Você”)🌐 Website: https://www.zionwg.org/podcastLooking for a faithful Confessional Lutheran church in the Winter Garden, Florida area?
