Matthew 5:19-20
Jan 11, 2026 • Pastor Joseph Hearn
What does it mean to live a holy life in a world that constantly lowers the standard? In Matthew 5:19–20, Jesus makes it unmistakably clear that holiness is not optional for those who follow Him. He fulfills the Law so that it no longer condemns us—but He never removes it as the standard for our lives. Motivated by love for our Master, not fear or self-righteousness, believers are called to pursue a deeper, heart-level obedience that reflects the righteousness of Christ. This message will challenge us to understand true holiness and call us to live a faithful life—not to earn salvation, but as the grateful response of those who have already been redeemed.
