Matthew 5:20
For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Now, that's a pretty tall order. The Pharisees and religious teachers were the moral pillars of the Jewish society. For us to try and be holier than them is asking a lot. But, such are the Lord's standards. His requirements seem impossible until we realize that such holiness is only possible by being in a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
