Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you. Psalm 89:14 NIV
Nothing that man ever invents will absolve him from the universal necessity of being
good as God is good, righteous as God is righteous, and holy as God is holy.
Charles Kingsley
Here’s what Scripture says: No one is righteous—not even one.
There is no one who understands the truth; no one is seeking after the one True God. Romans 3:10-11 The Voice
But now for the good news: God’s restorative justice has entered the world, independent of the law. Both the law and the prophets told us this day would come. This redeeming justice comes through the faithfulness of Jesus, the Anointed One, the Liberating King, who makes salvation a reality for all who believe—without the slightest partiality. You see, all have sinned, and all their futile attempts to reach God in His glory fail. Yet they are now saved and set right by His free gift of grace through the redemption available only in Jesus the Anointed. Romans 3:21-24 The Voice
THE LAW SAITH,
“Where is thy righteousness, goodness,
and satisfaction?
THE GOSPEL SAITH,
“Christ is thy righteousness, goodness,
and satisfaction.”
Patrick Hamilton
Does this truth change how you see yourself today?
