Continuation of our teaching on Wisdom Series Season One - Righteousness A Gift to a believer

TWO KINDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
1. Self Righteousness (merit, deserved, earned)
2. Christ Righteousness (unmerited, undeserved, unmerited, unearned)

Self Righteousness: This is the kind of righteousness that came or manifested by keeping the law (then ten commandment of Moses) Romans 10: 1-3, Philippians 3:9. It's by merit, it's brings pride and boasting (Luke 18:9-12) which is also sin. And if you break one commandment you brake all James2:10. This kind of righteousness is operated in the old testament (covenant) and did not work because God find fault with it Hebrews 8:7-13.
