Jesus Christ came to inaugurate a Kingdom that consists of people who have been inwardly changed and made righteous. But we need to make a clear distinction between the righteousness that God produces in His people and the external righteousness of the Pharisees. We need to understand how these righteousness’s are different because one leads to heaven and one leads to hell.
