The Gift Of Righteousness – Part 4
One of the greatest benefits of receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is that we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Salvation in Christ is the great exchange. He took all our sin and unrighteousness, and we receive His perfection and righteousness.
Righteousness is one of those subjects in Scripture that is foundational to a successful Christian life. In order to walk in all the fullness of what Christ has provided for us in salvation we must understand this subject.
The objective in this series of teachings is to:
• Present a clear understanding as to what righteousness is.
• To discover the need for it and how it is attained.
• To build a righteousness consciousness in each of our lives.
• To show how righteousness effects our lives with God, people, and the devil.
• To reveal the fruits produced when we walk in our righteousness with God.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; NKJV.
The Gift Of Righteousness Part 4 – In this message we begin to answer two questions in our series. The first is, Why do we need righteousness through Christ? The second question is How is righteousness attained? Romans 1:18 – 3:20 informs us of the divine indictment of sinful humanity, in other words all of humanity is under sin. Romans 3:21 – 5:21 informs us of the divine plan of salvation for humanity. Every person is guilty before God without receiving redemption through Christ Jesus.
