Living In The Illusion

It’s easy to feel like life is in a good place. The job’s steady, the kids are healthy, the bills are paid. You’ve worked hard, stayed out of trouble, maybe even gone to church a few times. Maybe you’re not running from God — you just don’t really think you need Him right now. From the outside, everything looks fine — and you might even tell yourself, “I’m all good.” But what if that sense of security is an illusion? In Romans chapter two, Paul turns from the person who openly rejects God to the one who quietly assumes they don’t need Him. He calls out the moral man — the person who measures themselves against others and thinks that’s good enough. Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that outward success and inner righteousness are not the same, and that God’s grace reaches far deeper than behavior ever could.
