Faith
in Christ and the Righteousness of God
The
righteousness of God is the righteousness provided by God.
The
righteousness of God is the righteousness provided by God through His Son Jesus
Christ.
Sin
is the transgression of the law of God.
And
sins bring condemnation and death.
Righteousness
is obedience to the law of God.
And
righteousness secures justification and life.
I consider these as basic and elementary.
The righteousness of God is provided through Christ's life of perfect and sinless obedience to the whole law of God, thus meeting all the righteous demands of the thrice holy God.
A
man's faith in Christ plays NO PART in God's provision of righteousness for
him, a condemned dead sinner. If anything at all, faith in Jesus Christ is a
fruit and effect of God's free and sovereign act of applying that righteousness
of His own provision in Jesus Christ to a UN-justified, condemned, spiritually
dead man.
