The Good News

God purposely set the bar of righteousness higher than any man can reach on his own. His righteousness is perfect, and yet that's what God requires of us. It is God's intention that we see the impossibility of attaining this righteousness that is necessary to be right with Him and fall upon His GRACE and MERCY that was offered to us freely through Jesus. Jesus fulfilled ALL righteousness in Himself as a man so that we, who have no hope of attaining it ourselves, can come to Him by faith, putting our complete trust in Him and Him alone. This is why the gospel is called Good News! See Romans chapters 5 - 8.
