Matthew 5:17-32

CENTRAL THOUGHT:

Following Christ's way produces in us righteousness FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

THE ANSWER TO THE SIN PROBLEM:

Sin comes out from an INNER BROKEN CONDITION.

Will power CANNOT FIX the inner broken condition.

God gives us righteousness BY GRACE.

Inner transformation comes as we ACTIVELY FOLLOW CHRIST.

CLOSING THOUGHT:

You can tell how closely you've been following Christ's way by THE LIFE CHANGE HE HAS BROUGHT OUT IN YOU.
