1. The righteousness of God is revealed for the sinner in virtue of Christ set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, and it is upon all who believe.
3. Not only have we clearance from guilt by the blood of Christ, but by His resurrection we are also put in the cleared place.
4. In virtue of our being in Him, the risen One, the last Adam, we are not only justified from all things, but have also justification of life. This we have through His one righteousness.
5. By His one righteousness — His obedience unto death — He stands accepted as the last Adam before God, and we, poor sinners who believe, being linked with Him, are constituted righteous—accepted in the same perfection as Himself — in that sweet savor that ever ascended to God from the obedient Man.
6. God has made Christ our righteousness, and in Him as our righteousness we stand before God. What a robe! Surely it is the best robe!
7. We become the righteousness of God in Him. In virtue of this stupendous work accomplished through Christ, a new and everlasting glory accrues to God — a glory displayed in the last Adam, the Son of God, the Man in the glory. One gaze upon His blessed face by faith ought to be enough to fix the heart upon Him forever.
