As we reflect on the powerful message of Easter—the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—this teaching, “Beware of Self-Righteousness,” reminds us that salvation is never earned by good works, moral effort, or religious activity.
Like a car stuck in the sand, our attempts to rescue ourselves through self-righteousness only sink us deeper into spiritual failure. We are born into sin and can only be saved by the grace of God through faith in Christ Jesus. This is a humbling truth that breaks pride and draws us closer to the cross, where mercy triumphs over judgment.
The Easter season is a time to surrender every attempt at self-justification and embrace the finished work of Jesus. Only by abiding in Him can we bear fruit and walk in true righteousness.
No matter how strong or disciplined we think we are, we all need grace daily. This message is for every believer striving to live a holy life without leaning fully on God. Let this word awaken your heart to the truth: it is not by works, but by His sacrifice that we are saved.
