Righteousness from God

 (ID: 2015)

Paul repeatedly exhorted the church to beware of false teachers who promoted works and rituals as means of earning God’s favor. Such legalistic approaches glorify human achievement over God’s grace, destroy the joy of genuine faith, and dilute the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning sacrifice on the cross. Urging us to set aside confidence in self-effort, Alistair Begg teaches that we should instead worship in God’s Spirit and glory in Christ’s accomplishments.
