For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20 NIV
The scribes, Pharisees, and teachers of the law, thought they had places secured for themselves in heaven. They read and knew scripture, abided by the ten commandments. They gave outward appearance of being righteous. Yet, Christ says that righteousness like theirs, leads not to the kingdom of heaven. All their righteousness was just appearance. It was not true righteousness. The only ones they truly fooled were themselves. The Lord saw right through them.
The Lord sees what is contained in the heart and soul. Do not think that you can hide anything from Christ. If one seeks after true righteousness, they must seek after Christ. For it is only through Christ that righteousness might be found.
Do you wish to enter the kingdom of heaven? Do seek to have the Spirit indwell you now? Do you yearn to stand in righteousness before God some day? Then make sure Christ sits on the throne to your heart. You shall then have what the religious leaders of Christ’s time could not find.
