Bible Question: How is it possible to hide our righteousness (Matt.6:1) but to let our light shine before men (Matt.5:16)? |
Bible Answer: IT'S not our rightousness but the Lord. Jesus has paid the price for our sins on the cross. He said it is finished. we are allowing the Spirit of God to get us back into the fellowship with the lord. we are as filthy rags. That's why the word says I can do all things through christ who strength me. |
