The righteousness of God is the display of the nature of God in all His acts.
We, believers, are made the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21.)
He, CHRIST, is our righteousness before God. (1 Cor. 1:30.)
It is not the merits of Christ put to our account, nor is it Christ keeping the law for us.
The righteous judgment of—"sin"-the root, and "sins"-the fruit, were both seen at the cross.
The blood of Christ put our sins away. (1 John 1:7.) The death of Christ ended our Adam history before God. (2 Cor. 5:17.)
Now Christ is our life. (Col. 3:4.)
We are "in Christ" before God. (Rom. 8:1.)
It is a blessed fact that Christ is the believer's righteousness before God, so that he rejects all other righteousness as worthless. Read carefully what Paul says in Phil. 3:7-9.
The Lord give us each to enjoy it more and praise His grace together!
."He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5:21.
JESUS! That name is love,
Jesus, our Lord!
Jesus, all names above,
Jesus, our Lord!
Thou, Lord, our all must be;
Nothing that's good have we,
Nothing apart from Thee,
Jesus, our Lord!
As Son of Man it was,
Jesus, the Lord!
Thou gav'st Thy life for us,
Jesus, our Lord!
Great was indeed Thy love,
All other loves above,
Love Thou didst dearly prove
Jesus, our Lord!
Righteous alone in Thee,
Jesus, the Lord!
Thou wilt a refuge be,
Jesus, our Lord!
Whom then have we to fear,
What trouble, grief, or care,
Since Thou art ever near.
Jesus, our Lord!
Soon Thou wilt come again,
Jesus, the Lord!
We shall be happy then,
Jesus our Lord!
When Thine own face we see,
Then shall we like Thee be.
Then evermore with Thee,
Jesus, our Lord!
