Righteous Now (#1081)

As taught by Bruce Mahone, 20240107. All rights reserved.

Verse Listing and Notes

Righteousness is the God-given justification (freedom from the penalties of sin) whereby a person stands in the presence of God without any consciousness of sin, guilt, or shortcomings.

Because we have been justified, we are righteous.

Romans 10:9, 10      Believeth unto righteousness.

Philippians. 3:9         Righteousness through the believing of Jesus Christ.

II Corinthians 5:21    That we might be made the righteousness of God.

Romans 3:22-25        Righteousness by the believing of Jesus Christ.

I Corinthians 1:30     Christ Jesus is made unto us righteousness.

Romans 5:8,9            Saved from the wrath to come.

I John 3:20, 21           If our heart condemn us, God is greater.

Romans 8:26-39        More than conquerors.

The whole world is trying to earn righteousness by their own deeds, which they can never do. We have the joy of walking in the righteousness which he already accomplished for us, by his perfect, accomplished believing as our lord and savior.
