Rom 3:25-26 God presented

Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,

through the shedding of his blood

—to be received by faith. He did

this to demonstrate his

righteousness, because in his

forbearance he had left the sins

committed beforehand

unpunished— he did it todemonstrate his righteousness at

the present time, so as to be just

and the one who justifies those

who have faith in Jesus.Monday 25 July 2011



God is righteous and cannot turn

from that - he does not, and

cannot allow sin, and all who do

sin come under his judgment.

God does not sin in any way -

the Gospel does not make light

of sin but exalts God who bears

all the judgements and

punishments which are rightly

the result of sin - God does this

in love and enables the sinner topass from condemnation to

righteousness.

Jn 3:18, 5:24, Rom 8:1, 1 Cor

11:32Monday 25 July 2011



Rom 10:3 -Since they did not

know the righteousness of God

and sought to establish their

own, they did not submit to

God’s righteousness.

Isa 64:6 - All of us have become

like one who is unclean, and all

our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf,

and like the wind our sins

sweep us away.

Rom 3:9-18 records sin as

God sees it and fullydescribes mans condition.

In society we have man

made standards for

righteousness - yet eachstands before God and is

udged as God sees them,

not by other men. Only

through God’s grace andhis provision in Christ will

anyone enter heaven.

What then? Are we Jews any better

off? No, not at all. For we have already

charged that all, both Jews and

Greeks, are under sin, as it is written:"None is righteous, no, not one; no one

understands; no one seeks for God. All

have turned aside; together they have

become worthless; no one does good,

not even one.""Their throat is an open grave; they use

their tongues to deceive.""The venom

of asps is under their lips."

"Their mouth is full of curses and

bitterness.""Their feet are swift to shed

blood; in their paths are ruin and

misery, and the way of peace they have

not known.""There is no fear of God

before their eyes."

We are united with Christ by the HSp - God then

sees us as his own son - Jn 17:23 - he loves and

accepts us - and also accounts to us the

righteousness of God2 Cor 5:21 -For our sake he made him to be sin

who knew no sin, so that in him we might become

the righteousness of God.

Rom 3:21-22 - But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although

the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the

righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ

for all who believe.Monday 25 July 2011

righteousness - Rev 19:8 -

It is put upon us - eventhough we still sin - it is

nothing to do with our

works - yet it is an

eternal standing for ourlives.

NT - righteousness and

ustify are from the same

root.God declares as justified

and resurrection of Christ -

cancelled, a -ve activity- in justification

righteousness is imputed, a

+ve activity.

Filled with the Spirit the child of

God produces;Righteous works - Rom 8:4

Fruit - Gal 5:22-23

Gifts - 1 Cor 12:7ff

These are produced in thebeliever by the Spirit of God -

who is walking in the Spirit and

not the flesh - in essence the

will of God is now fulfilled in thelife of the believer - this could

not be done by the believer but

is done in them, a life imparted

with the righteousness of God.Monday 25 July 2011
