| The Lord Jesus Christ took our sins, that He might give us His righteousness. “All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Our Lord “His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” “Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” “It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin.” “Now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested … even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference.” “Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us … righteousness,” that I may “be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” |
