THE GOSPEL IS TO REVEAL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND NOT TO REVEAL SIN.
(ROMANS 1:16) ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(Philipians 3:9 )¶ And be found in him, NOT HAVING MY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, but that which is through the faith of Christ, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH.
(Ga 2:21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW,THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN.
The purpose of the Gospel is to reveal the righteousness of God by faith in Christ.The Gospel is the solution to man. 1.It is the power of God to save the sinners 2. It reveals the righteousness of God with comes by faith.
The law does not bring revelation. It produces wrath. There is no confidence in the law . It weakened mankind , created enmity between man and God and left man dead in sin without hope. The first breakthrough any man should attain in life is to catch the revelation of the righteousness of God in Christ.To attain the righteousness of the law is to embrace dead for ever. Aposlte Paul attained the righteousness that is of the law yet he found out that it was not the righteousness of God.
We have to understand this revelation.
(Romans 10: 9 )That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The prove of the revelation of righteousness is a life of faith.And the life of faith produces good works.
We should concentrate on the Gospel for that is where our past, present and future lies.Glory to God.
