24And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day. 25And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
“If one will obtain true righteousness through the law, it is simple (though not easy): observe all the commandments. But if you are lacking in observing any commandment, then you need the atonement of a Perfect Sacrifice - Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” (Guzik)
While contemplating these verses I realized exactly why we need Jesus Christ because “if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments” then that will be our righteousness! Do you see how impossible that is? We have a sinful nature and the Law was impossible to keep!
I will have my righteousness in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Blessings
