Things New and Old: The Righteousness Needed for Your Justification

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

The Righteousness Needed for Your Justification

"... but that [righteousness] which is through the faith of Christ."
It is "through the faith of Christ",
It is NOT through your faith IN Christ.
Your fickle faith plays NO role in your justification by God.
Only the righteousness of Christ through His FAITHFULNESS
in rendering perfect and complete laws of God does.

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 a 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 applied FREELY by God to His people can be experienced by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
