A New Kind Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 30, 2005

Jesus’ new kind of righteousness is based on: 1. Internals rather than externals. 2. Transformation rather than avoiding transgressions. 3. A relationship rather than rules.

Is that all we are, “just forgiven”? Is there no more to it than that? Do we, in the ...read more
