The Danger of Self Righteousness and Understanding Justification
The danger of self-righteousness is that it prevents people from recognizing their spiritual sickness. Self-righteous people think they're spiritually healthy, so they don't look to the Great Physician. If you're sick, but you think you're healthy you don't know anything's wrong. You won't get the medical attention you need. You keep getting worse, often without knowing it. It is dangerous to be physically sick and not know it, but it's even worse to be spiritually sick and not know it. If you're physically sick and don't know it, the worst you can experience is physical death. But if you're spiritually sick and don't know it the worst you can experience is eternal death.

Here's the accompanying podcast episode: https://www.scottlapierre.org/the-danger-of-self-righteousness/
00:00 The Danger of Self-Righteousness
Self-righteousness is dangerous because it:
11:03 Lesson One: ____________ us to __________ we’re healthy when we’re sick.
20:37 Lesson Two: ________________ ____ from wanting Jesus’s righteousness.
41:15 Lesson Three: ____ ________________ at the wrong target.
Directions: Read the verses and then answer the questions:
Day 1: Isaiah 1:5-6, Jeremiah 30:12-13, Proverbs 16:2, 30:12, Hosea 12:8, Revelation 3:17, Luke 16:14-15—What does it mean to be spiritually sick? Why would people think they are spiritually healthy when they are spiritually sick? Why is it dangerous to be spiritually sick but think you are spiritually healthy? Besides what was mentioned in the sermon, can you think of other examples in Scripture of people being spiritually healthy when they were spiritually sick?
Day 2: Luke 18:9-14, Matthew 3:13-15, Luke 5:31-32, Isaiah 55:1—What two things does Jesus offer us? Define justified in two words. What is double imputation? Why is justification greater than mere forgiveness? How can we be justified? How do many people wrongly attempt to be justified? In other words, how do many people think they can go to heaven?
Day 3: Luke 18:9, Romans 10:3, Jeremiah 10:19—Why is self-righteousness shooting at the wrong target? Romans 10:3 says the Jews sought to establish their own righteousness. How did they do that? There are reasons people won’t go to an earthly physician. Why won’t people go to Jesus, the Great Physician?
