试问何谓基督信仰的主要目标？我们每周参加聚会，每天读经祷告，但这最终是要指向什么呢？这如同一个生意人在做生意时想到各种的细节，如同管理、销售、采购等，但最终的目标就是利润了。所以，试问信仰的终极目标是什么呢？简单说就是义。主耶稣说：你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义，断不能进天国《太5:20》。其实，若我们仔细思想，这句话相当的沉重，因为很直接的意思就是若前者不发生，后者绝不能成就（就是说无法见到神的面）。其实，一旦谈到有关“义”的课题，很少信徒在这方面多思想或是渴望多追求。多数的信徒，甚至是很成熟的信徒常常会盼望自己多爱主、多属灵、多敬虔，或是多有恩膏服侍主，但是他们没有想要多追求神的义。基本上的理由就是他们认为自己已经因信而被神称为义了，以至基督已经成为他们的义了。因此，他们认为“义”不是一个信了主的人需要追求的，乃是要确信的。但是，主耶稣却说：“你们要先求神的国和神的义…”《太6:33》。 这个“先”字指的不是程序上的意思，乃是整个信仰的优先考虑。那不是先求了神的国和义，之后再去追求学业、事业、婚姻，或学习做人、服侍、与人相处等。当我们仔细观察时，很多人的信仰生活的确是做了主日之后，更积极的为自己排满整个礼拜要追求与进行的事物。这一切里都没设想到神的国和义。其实，“先求神的国和义”乃是以此为中心来做每一件的事。那是整个信仰生活的核心了。因此，我们问何谓神的义呢？何谓那胜于文士与法利赛人的义呢？有很多的解经家会将此当做是神透过基督归于我们的义，且是我们人额外的义。因为那胜于文士与法利赛人的义是完全的义，所以若不是基督所带来额外的义，没有人能达到这完全。因此，义人必因信称义。这个观点是没错的，因为在这之后，主耶稣讲到凡向弟兄动怒或骂他们的都犯了「不可杀人」的律法，凡看了妇人就动淫念的都犯了「不可奸淫」的律法。但是我们一定要问的是当一个人得着这额外的义之后，他身上有怎样的明证呢？马丁路德说：我们是义人，但也是罪人。神的义借着我们的信进入了这有罪的生命里，使我们这仍然有罪之人同时也有神的义。但是在成圣的过程中，这个义不是停顿的，也不是一个死板的神学观念。这义是会使基督形成在我们生命里，使我们一举一动越来越满有基督的荣耀《罗6:4》。因此，《罗8:30》告诉我们神预先所定下的人又召他们来，所召来的人又称他们为义，所称为义的人又叫他们得荣耀。所谓的荣耀就是成圣的结果了。由此可言，若一个人是真得了基督归于的义，他的生命一定会结出“仁义的果子”《腓1:11》。因此，有另一群解经家在解释《太5:20》时，带出了一个非常必要的警戒，就是除非我们的生命继续结出那胜于文士和法利赛人的义的果子，要不然我们的信心可能是伪造的。当然，我们绝对不是教导因行为称义，但我们会知道圣经是一直教导我们将真实的信心透过行为表现出来，以此才能知道我们里头拥有了真实的神的义。透过今天的信息，我们要清楚确认我们的义何谓与文士和法利赛人的义，且如何胜于他们。

Think about it, what is the main goal of Christian faith? We attend meetings weekly, read the Bible and pray daily, but what exactly do these eventually point to? This is like a businessman thinking of various details when doing business, like management, sales, purchasing, etc., but the ultimate goal is profit. So, think about what is the ultimate goal of faith? Simply speaking, it is righteousness. Lord Jesus said, “Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven <Mt 5:20>.” In fact, if we think carefully, this sentence is quite heavy, because the direct meaning is that if the former does not happen, the latter will not be accomplished (that is, there is no way to see the face of God). In fact, when we talk about the subject of "righteousness", few believers think more or are eager to pursue more of it. Most believers, even mature believers, often expect themselves to love the Lord more, be more spiritual, godlier, or more anointed to serve the Lord, but they do not think of pursuing more of God's righteousness. The basic reason is that they think they have been justified by faith and that Christ has become their righteousness. Therefore, they think that "righteousness" is not something that a person who believes in the Lord needs to pursue, but must believe with assurance. However, Lord Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...” <Mt 6:33>. The word "first" does not refer to the sequence but your priority should always be to consider your faith. It is not to first seek the kingdom and righteousness of God, and then to pursue academics, career, marriage, or to learn to be a person, serve, get along with others, etc. When we examine closely, the faith living of many is indeed one where after the Sabbath, they more actively arrange their entire week ahead with activities they want to pursue and carry out. In all of these, they do not think about God's kingdom and righteousness. In fact, "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" is to do everything with this as the centre. This is the core of the entire faith living. Therefore, we ask what is God's righteousness? How do we surpass the Pharisees and teachers of the law in righteousness? There are many interpreters of the Bible who will regard this as the righteousness that God has given us through Christ, which is additional righteousness credited to man. Because the righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees is perfect righteousness, no one can achieve this perfection without the additional righteousness brought by Christ. Therefore, the righteous will be justified by faith. This view is correct, because after this, Lord Jesus said, anyone who is angry with a brother or sister or scolds them would have violated the law of “You shall not murder”, and anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already violated the law of “You shall not commit adultery”. But we must ask, after a person has received this additional righteousness, what is the evidence? Martin Luther said, “We are righteous, but also sinners.” The righteousness of God has entered our sinful life through our faith, and has made us who are still sinful to have the righteousness of God at the same time. But in the process of sanctification, this righteousness does not remain stagnant, and neither is this a rigid theological concept. This righteousness will make us more Christ-like in our lives, and make each and every of our actions more and more filled with the glory of Christ <Ro 6:4>. Therefore, <Ro 8:30> tells us that those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. The so-called glory is the result of sanctification. From this, we can say that if a person truly receives the righteousness of Christ, his life will surely bear the “fruit of righteousness” <Phil 1:11>. Therefore, when explaining <Mt 5:20>, another group of interpreters brought out a necessary warning, that is, unless our life continues to bear the fruit of the righteousness which surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, our faith could possibly be counterfeit. Of course, we are definitely not teaching justification by works, but we will know that the Bible always teaches us to express true faith through our deeds in order for us to know that we have the true righteousness of God in us. Through today's message, we must clearly confirm the righteousness the scribes and Pharisees have, and how we can surpass them.
