Summary

In this bold message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and only in Him can we be made righteous. Preaching from Matthew 5:17–20, Dr. Youssef affirms that God the Father authored the Law, God the Son authenticated it through His perfect obedience, and God the Holy Spirit empowers believers not to reject it but to uphold its moral demands. The Law reveals our sin, but only Christ provides the righteousness God requires—righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. Dr. Youssef warns against false teaching that seeks to unhitch from the Old Testament and urges all to cling to Christ alone, whose robe of righteousness is our only hope for Heaven. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
