1 | How do we attain righteousness? | Matthew | rubired | 40160 | ||
greetings in christ the lord. we dont "attain" righteousness..it is a gift...freely given by the lord to believers. ICorin 1:30 tells us that Jesus MADE us pure and holy and gave himself to purchase our salvation. Rom 8:1 says NOW there is no condemnation awaiting those that belong to Christ. (when?? NOW!!!) Isaiah 55:5 tells us the nations will obey us..not because of our own power or glory, but because God has glorified us. Rom 1:17 says that God makes us ready for heaven...and right in His sight...when we put our faith in Christ. so, if we have been glorified, made pure and holy, and made right in God's sight...we are the righteous NOW!!! we cant earn righteousness...how could we? the only way to make us righteous had to be freely given by Jesus, and all we have to do is believe His word accept Him as savior, and receive His gift! | ||||||
