Bible Question: What consitutes a "righteous act?" - Is there anything "righteous" that we do on our own? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
