What Is God’s Righteousness?
Without God’s righteousness, we miss something precious in our relationship with the Father because God’s righteousness makes it possible for us to come into His presence. Nothing or nobody is in between.
We can come to Him without guilt, without shame, without condemnation, without spot or wrinkle, and without fear of rejection. We approach our great God as if we are holy, pure, spotless, and innocent.
That righteousness makes us capable of being in God's presence forever as if we had never sinned. It makes us capable of knowing Him as Father.
We can’t earn God’s righteousness by our own works, but it is made available by grace through faith.
Jesus, who knew no sin, but who was made sin by God, has made us righteous to God by His blood (2 Cor. 5:21). As a result of Jesus’ sacrifice, we now receive His nature.
That means that if someone is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). All the old has passed away and all sin is erased. The old nature is replaced, and everything is made new.
Isn’t that fantastic, that we have the same nature as Jesus and that we therefore can come to God?
That is God’s righteousness and the justification by Christ.
And the beautiful thing is: Everyone can receive it.
Romans 3 states that the righteousness of God is revealed through faith in Jesus to all who believe, because there is no distinction.
Amen!
