Soundly reject false teachings full of works gospel messages. They are old covenant thinking that says you need to try harder to earn God's acceptance and approval... to be righteous through your performance. That's not the true gospel message. That's NOT new covenant thinking. We don't 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 righteousness in the new covenant. Righteousness, right standing with God, is a gift to belivers, to those who place their faith in only Jesus for their salvation and acceptance. 👇👇👇 2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Romans 1:17 NASB For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.” Romans 3:21-22 NASB But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, [22] but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction, 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 NASB But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, [31] so that, just as it is written: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” #cross #Jesus #legalism #grace #faith
