THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE for Friday, 19TH AUGUST, 2022.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE - General Overseer

Topic: THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

MEMORIZE: “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:” Rom 3:22 

SCRIPTURE READING: Romans 3:21-22.

“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:”

EXPOSITION:

Our human struggle to be meet up with the righteousness of God is compared to filthy rags – “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”. Isaiah 64:6. The sinner establishes the law in its right use and honour by confessing his guilt, and acknowledging that by it he is justly condemned. Christ, on the sinner's behalf, establishes the law by enduring its penalty, death. Compare (Matt. 5:17-18).

The righteousness of God is neither an attribute of God, not the changed character of the believer, but Christ Himself, who fully met in our stead and behalf every demand of the law, and who is, but the act of God called imputation (Lev 25:50; Jam 2:23); "made unto us… righteousness" (1Co 1:30). "The believer in Christ is now, by grace, shrouded under so complete and blessed a righteousness that the law from Mt. Sinai can find neither fault nor diminution therein. This is that which is called “the righteousness of God by faith." (2Cor. 5:21; Rom 4:6; Rom 10:4; Phil 3:9; Rom 3:26. "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:" Romans 3:22.

PRAYERPOINT:

Lord, I hold unto your righteousness till the end in Jesus name. 

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Jeremiah 4-7.
