THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD HAS BEEN REVEALED. IN CHRIST
MATH 5:6 BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST
AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED.
MATh 5:20 FOR I SAY
UNTO YOU, THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE
SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, YE SHALL IN NO CASE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
The righteousness of God had been revealed but was not known
until Christ rose from the dead. God revealed His righteousness to Abraham but
it remained unknown to the Israelites because Christ had not manifested.
GENESIS 15:6 AND HE
BELIEVED IN THE LORD; AND HE COUNTED IT TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Ge 15:6 And he
believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
ROM 4: 3 FOR WHAT
SAITH THE SCRIPTURE? ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED UNTO HIM FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
When the law was given to Moses it was for the Jews to
attain righteousness by work which will never give any man right standing with
God. (Eph 2:15)
GAL 2:21 I DO NOT
FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD: FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW, THEN CHRIST
IS DEAD IN VAIN
ROM 4:5 BUT TO HIM
THAT WORKETH NOT, BUT BELIEVETH ON HIM THAT JUSTIFIETH THE UNGODLY, HIS FAITH
IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Until Christ resurrection the righteousness of God was in
shadows. Outside Christ, there is no righteousness. When Christ was teaching
the ,he was laying a foundation of the righteousness that comes without works
but through faith in Him after His resurrection. The only righteousness that
can exceed any other righteousness is the righteousness that comes through
faith in Christ. Outside it, there is no other righteousness.
WE CANNOT BE
RIGHTEOUS BY DOING GOOD DEED.BUT WE DO GOOD DEED BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN MADE
RIGHTROUS THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
ROM 10:4-5 FOR CHRIST
IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which
is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Rom 4:6 Even as David
also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom GOD IMPUTETH
RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT WORKS
ACTS 8:37 AND PHILIP
SAID, IF THOU BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, THOU MAYEST. AND HE ANSWERED AND
SAID, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD.
ROMAN 10:10 FOR WITH
THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS
MADE UNTO SALVATION.
A believer does not hunger and thirst after righteousness
any more. He has become the righteousness of God in Christ. A believer does the
works of righteousness because he had been made righteous through faith in
Christ. He does not do the works of righteousness to become righteous.
2COR 5: 21 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.
The people who hunger and thirst after righteousness are
those who have not believed the Gospel.
ROM 1: (16 -17) 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
-1 7 FOR THEREIN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH: AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY
FAITH.
Abraham received the righteousness by faith because he believed
the Gospel .
Gal 3:8 And the
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,
PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL UNTO ABRAHAM, SAYING, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE
BLESSED
Rom 4:13 For the
promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his
seed, through the law, BUT THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH.
Gal 3:16 Now to
Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of
many; but as of one, AND TO THY SEED, WHICH IS CHRIST.
Isaac was not the seed through which the righteousness would
be revealed. The seed is Christ. There is no other name which righteousness
could be attained except through Jesus Christ.
Stop looking for where to be the righteousness of God and
come to Jesus. He is the righteousness of God revealed. If you are in Christ,
you are the righteousness of God in Him.
Hallelujah.
