Jesus had an extremely high view of Scripture, declaring that he came not to abolish the Law and Prophets but to fulfill them. He emphasized that every detail of God's Word matters and we cannot simply pick and choose our favorite verses while ignoring challenging passages. True righteousness isn't about external religious behavior but about heart transformation that comes from a right relationship with God. Jesus addresses the root issues of our hearts rather than just surface behaviors, wanting to transform us from the inside out through faithful engagement with Scripture.
