Two things revealed in the gospel are the righteousness of God to faith and the wrath of God against unrighteousness. God maintains and displays His righteous character in both His acts of love and His acts of judgment. Christ in His work at the cross glorified God’s love in dying for us and glorified His righteousness in bearing our sins and being made sin for us. God further glorified His righteousness by raising from the dead and seating at His side the One who so glorified Him on earth. That work for God and the sinner is so great that God declares that He now sees any who accept in faith the Saviour and His work as being “in Christ,” and all who are “in Christ” before His holy eyes are seen as “righteous” forever. The righteous character of God will forever be on display by what we now are in Christ. God’s grace now reigns in giving the gift of eternal life, on the righteous foundation that sin has been dealt with in a righteous way in the death of Christ. We who have been made righteous by God through the work of Christ are now exhorted to live unto righteousness. We, a new creation in Christ Jesus, are called upon to display God’s character of righteousness in our daily lives.
