1 | What consitutes a "righteous act?" | Rev 19:8 | Emmaus | 124011 | ||
Mommapbs, We are righteous only in Jesus and only acts doen in Him are righteous acts. His obedience was the righteous act that makes us righteous in Him. "615 "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous." (Rom 5:19) By his obedience unto death, Jesus accomplished the substitution of the suffering Servant, who "makes himself an offering for sin", when "he bore the sin of many", and who "shall make many to be accounted righteous", for "he shall bear their iniquities".(Isa 53:10-12) Jesus atoned for our faults and made satisfaction for our sins to the Father." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a4p2.htm#615 "2025 We can have merit in God's sight only because of God's free plan to associate man with the work of his grace. Merit is to be ascribed in the first place to the grace of God, and secondly to man's collaboration. Man's merit is due to God. " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a2.htm#202 Emmaus |

2 | What consitutes a "righteous act?" | Rev 19:8 | Mommapbs | 124014 | ||
"We are righteous only in Jesus and only acts done in Him are righteous acts. His obedience was the righteous act that makes us righteous in Him." Emmaus Amen! So, can we conclude that Jesus alone "earned" the fine linen that clothes the Bride by His obedience, by His righteousness? Therefore, when we who are IN Him allow Him to be at work in our lives, (Apart from Me, you can do nothing- John 15:5) what Jesus does, and thus what we do IN Him, becomes our "good deeds." What of those things that we do that are "good" but perhaps are wrought by self-centered motives?(ie. Things that we do that are good or kind to be approved or liked by others) - are these also "fine linen?" Imo, these are the "wood, hay and straw" that will be consummed by the Refiner's fire when we stand before the Bema of Christ. It's all about YOU, Jesus! Blessings, mommapbs |
