On today's Pilgrim's Progress, Pastor Ray walks us through the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (in Luke 18) and contrasts the differences between these two groups. If we attempt to get in heaven through our own efforts, we won't make anything other than a big message. Here's what Jesus said.

Mark 10:18 - Berean Study Bible
How does righteousness come to us? Is it by getting everything correct? No, contrary to how most of us have been raised, the answer is a definite NO. We must deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow after Jesus, as Jesus states in the scriptures. There's no room for pride or arrogance because we're nothing without Jesus, all of the pride must be purged from our hearts and it will be as we discover that we're absolutely nothing with Jesus.
