Jesus said that unless our righteousness exceeds......?

you can't. you have to accept His sacrifice on your behalf, and His righteousness will be imputed to you. (credited to your account)

Thank goodness, yes we will!  Then, we live again for eternity!  So, don't fear death, as Jesus conquered death.  Go to church, learn about Jesus, and find salvation.

I get a kick out of people like "PEACHES" "all you have to do is believe in Jesus" How about doing more then believing, how about walking in his foot steps? How about raising good God fearing children? how about being pure and not having premarital sex? how about being faith full to your significant other? How about telling the truth? how about helping your neighbor? How about not killing in his name? Wait, all I have to do is believe he existed and i go to heaven, come on. TO ANSWER YOUR ? TRUTHFULLY YOUR BODY ROTS IN A GRAVE UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

Jesus said Blessed are those who mourn. He also said to follow Him we must take up our cross. And to sum up the matter He said He who seeks to save his life must lose it. So it is not in this life that we find our hope and happiness in fullness but we do get a beginning of this joy and peace and that beginning is better than all this world has to offer.\nAlso it is not living for our fullness but for Christ

I think that verse reveals a lot of modern evanglicalism to be out of step with Scripture. We have a very friendly, easy gospel preached in America where salvation is all up to us. John 6 teaches its not up to us at all in fact we contribute nothing to our own salvation including the will to believe. We are so totally depraved in our sin that we cannot even worship God unless he makes us worshippers. Very humbling.

Jesus says in Matt 24 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will not pass away".  The world AS WE KNOW IT may end, but a believer in Jesus will have eternal life.

Jesus Christ said Himself that if we LOVE Him, we WILL DO as He commands. If you don't want to go to church and be baptized, then you have to ask yourself, "do I really love Him?" \n He did not only command us to be baptized, but He got baptized Himself. So there: walk in His footsteps. How else can you live for Him than by obeying Him??

No...but it does put us on the same level of Jesus....He even said "even the least of you can do these things and more..."

One of my favorite verses, and actually one of the two verses that I try to live my life by.  The other being "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will then be given to you".\n\nThe verse "he that seeks to keep his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it" means to me....that the more I give up my "rights" in life, the less I go after what I think I want for myself, the more I give up pursuing the things of the "world" and the more I give up my life for Jesus to do with as He pleases...the more "myself" I truly become.\n\nI never have felt more at peace, more my true self, then when I have given up my own will and choices and asked Jesus to guide my every step, thought, word.  Funny, isn't it?  You think by serving yourself you'd get what you want in life.  I've found by serving Him first (which means, putting others first), that's when I've found true happiness and fulfillment.

In Matthew 24:13, the Lord declares that in order to be saved one must also endure to the end  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.Jesus taught that we have to be righteous to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 5:20)20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n "keep the commandments" (Matt. 5:48) ye therefore perfect•, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.\n I hope you have the time to look these verses up in the bible and I hope it helpsRead ST MATTHEW through and though about 4 or 5 times in a mater of a month and I think you will know the answer or if your christian pray about it for me personally a church that follows a Jesus who requires no righteousness, no sacrifice, and no baptism for the remission of our sins isn't the Jesus for me! my Jesus Requires me to be the Best I can be " and I'm struggling to be honest" but I know it's what is right although it would be an easier religon to follow if the 10 commandments had been revoked, heck anyone could do it!\n:)\nalso I read romans chapter7 \nThe last verse \n25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. \nit talks about the Law of Moses is fulfilled in Christ not to abandon the 10 comandments at the cross\nwith that being said I'm not the most faithfull christian, I am a sinner and I don't follow the religon I feel is right as closely as I know I should, I just don't want to come across as the person proclaiming their rightiousness because I have "A LOT OF WORK TO DO"

In the Bible it says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:  and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."  \n\nsorry, I misquoted the first time

Well friend,\nI am a christian.\nAnd this is what that verse means to me.\n\nThe main problem with christians is that they always like to read such verses from a worldy perspective ignoring the spiritual aspect of it.\n\nLook at the begining it mentions of future and hope. Thats what we should be aiming for NOT earthly fortunes or satisfactions.\n\nSeeking the Lord comes with calling upon our Lord as well as praying to Him NOT just sitting around and trying to "argue" out things in your mind. Honesty is important here.\n\nNow consider, the phrase...\n"will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."\n\nSome people like to take the that and say, Hey, God will bless me!!\nIt is true but does it mention necessarily EARTHLY blessings? No. I believe its more spiritual blessings that you will inherit one day in the afterlife. For the spiritual blessings are eternal as opposed to the temporary blessings on earth.\n\nWell, dont seek after earthly things as others do, these are all vanity.\n\nAs for me,\n"Jesus is enough"\nNothing else I want.\n\nRegards

Probably something along the lines of, "Thank You, Jesus, for sacrificing Yourself so that I could be saved!"
