That righteousness which is through the faith of Christ
I met this sweet girl in a
village in Katangawan.
Her name is Frebe Joy... so cheerful. 10 years
old.
Walks a few miles to get to school. Speak fluent English.
When
asked, 'Will you be my daughter,' she shied away.
Phi
3: 9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is
of the law, but that [righteousness] which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Righteousness needed for man's justification before God is either:
- by his own righteousness through his obedience of the law, or
- by Christ's righteousness through His faithfulness in obeying the same
...law.
Righteousness, the obedience to the law, is prerequisite for the
justification of life. Sin, the transgression of the law, is the cause
of the condemnation of death.
Ro 5:18 "Therefore as by the
offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation [of death];
even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life."
The plain truth stated by Paul is:
Sin of Adam >>> condemnation of death.
Righteousness of Christ >>> justification of life.
Very many smooth preachers teach you this LIE:
Your faith in Christ >>> justification of life.
The righteousness which is through the faithfulness of Christ in
obeying the law is of God's provision for His people. And this
righteousness provided FREELY by God for His people can be experienced
by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
