The righteousness of God;
1/ Explained.
2/ Revealed.
3/ Fulfilled.
4/ Applied.
1/ Moral perfection, Holiness, definition of what is good, virtue, God is love, God is light. (no darkness).
2/ When the righteousness is revealed to us we realise how great a barrier there is between us and God.
3/ Romans 8 vs.2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The righteousness of God is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, He is righteous God and Righteous man. They brought false accusations against Him and condemned Him to death falsely, and they are responsible for their actions, but it was all God's plan. His death was prophesied long before crucifixion was introduced. He doesn't want our pity, He wants our love, worship and devotion.
Our sin was accounted to Him and God punished His Son for our sin to fulfill all righteousness.
4/God is unspeakably gracious, merciful and kind.
Our sin in the eyes of God is far worse than ever we can realise but Jesus died, His grace is sufficient.
There must be repayment, if we are wronged we expect justice how much more God and His justice is separation from Him. Sin can never satisfy don't turn your back on God.
Romans 3 vs. 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
How could God give up His Son to die in that way. He clothes us in a robe of righteousness, He looks at us and sees Jesus and His righteousness. Repent and believe the Gospel.
