Re: Righteousness exceeding Scribes and Pharisees

In Matthew 5:20 Jesus said 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. How are we expected to “exceed” their “righteousness”? This is my answer to question 2 .... By trusting 100% in th...
