The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In "Be Not As The Hypocrites (Part 1)", Steve Gregg delves into the concept of righteousness and the importance of behaving in a righteous manner, even though it may not be explicitly required by God. He emphasizes that true religion is not about outward observances, but rather about pleasing God himself. Gregg discusses the importance of humility and avoiding ostentatious displays of religious acts, as this is what truly pleases God. He also touches upon the idea of rewards and how seeking rewards should not be the sole motivation for righteous behavior.
