Bible Note: Good post. Period. Righteousness comes by faith. The ones who are counted righteous are the ones who believe God. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. The same goes for Moses and David and all the righteous of the Old Testament age and the New. So, in context of Psalm 14, some Israelites were clearly righteous. How did they get that way? Probably not (not probably, certainly not) by loving God and following the Ten Commandments as best they could. It was by faith. Romans 1:17 The just shall live by faith. Romans 4:5 To him that works not, but believeth on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 3:22 The righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. Romans 3:25 God has set forth faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past. Romans 4:9 Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Romans 4:11 He received the sign, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had. Romans 4:13 The promise was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? The Gentiles have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. Romans 10:6-10 The righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness”. Philippians 3:9 … be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Hebrews 11:7) By faith Noah, became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Hebrews 11:33 Through faith (they) wrought righteousness, God declares us righteous when we trust in Christ. He accomplished death, burial and resurrection on our behalf. That work fulfilled all that God requires, and it avails for us when we trust in him. But that faith is prompted and preceded by repentance. Repentance plus faith equals salvation. Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. |
