Doing what God asks does not bring righteousness... It brings maturity. The gospel brings righteousness.
If we start to stand on our good works, we feel guilty when we miss a quiet time or prayer or break a fast early.
Bookends of the christian life
This book talks about the enemies of the gospel in our lives:
Self-righteousness and how to determine whether you are stuck in it.
Persistent guilt plagues you and keeps you stuck.
So then what?
Preaching the gospel to yourself is taking the battle from your decision making level to the heart desire level. Your heart will desire more of the things of God and it will be a battle of desires within our heart.
