The doctrine of righteousness 2

The doctrine of righteousness 2.
“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”
Philippians 3:9

Yesterday, we examined two of the four counts of righteousness. The first count was that righteousness is by faith in Jesus Christ. On the second count of righteousness, we saw that because we believe in Jesus Christ, righteousness has become our covering.

The third count of righteousness states that Christ is our righteousness. 1 Corinthians 1:30 shows us that Christ is our righteousness, “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”

The fourth count of righteousness states that we are the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “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.”

Romans 5:17(AMP) says, “For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”

Confession:
By my faith in Jesus Christ and His redemptive work, I declare that I am righteous. Righteousness is my covering. Christ has been made unto me wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. For He was made sin for me, who knew no sin; that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Amen.

For further study, read:
Romans 5:18-21, Romans 8:1-4, Romans 10:3-10.

Doing the Word:
Rest in the righteousness which is of God by faith.
