Philippians 3:9-Romans 4:6
“And 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.”―
Phil. 3:9
9
And 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: (Philippians 3:9)
.
“David describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.”―
Rom. 4:6
6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, (Romans 4:6)
.
“A ROBE I must have,” said the beloved Berridge, “of one whole piece, broad as the Law, spotless as the light, and richer than an angel ever wore―the robe of Jesus.” The fact is, that the Lord Jesus was not only the perfect Man, and thus rendered to Jehovah the perfection of obedience due from man, but He was also God― “God manifest in the flesh”―thus there was infinite acceptability and divine worth in all that He did. It is by His obedience that “many are made righteous”―even “the righteousness of God” which is unto and upon them by faith. Spotless angels around the throne of heaven excel in strength and do the will of God, but theirs is a creature-righteousness; faultless in its kind, without doubt, but it falls short of “the righteousness of God.” How wonderful is the standing of the believer! How near is he brought! How “complete in Christ” he is! What an everlasting and unchangeable righteousness is “the righteousness which is of God by faith!” What grace, that sinners of the Gentiles should have this spotless robe! How rich in mercy is God! “Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.” (
Rom. 10:4
4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:4)
.)
‘Had I an angel’s holiness
I’d lay aside that beauteous dress,
And wrap me up in Christ.’
