Righteousness comes from God alone
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Yahweh-Tsidkenu ~ The LORD Our Righteousness
We are not righteousness in and of ourselves. Our righteousness comes from God and God alone. Jesus imputes His righteousness into us so that we can see God. For you see, Hebrews 12:14 says that without holiness, no man will see God. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Isn’t that terrific? You see, if you are a child of God, you are holy. Are you feeling that you can’t live the Christian life? That’s right where you need to be. You see, God never asked you to live the Christian life apart from Him. He wants to be your strength, He wants to live the Christian life through you and do for you what you could never do for yourself. - Adrian Rogers
