What is righteousness?

What is righteousness? Why, on the basis of Christ's death, can God declare us to be righteous?

[asiolydiaomiat]

Thank you. You summarized for me all that I was looking for. I thank God that am the rightness of God in Christ Jesus

Amen. I would add that all God's words, including his commandments is righteousness. Jesus is righteousness. Make us righteous!

Before Jesus died on the cross, people sinned on a regular basis, and they sacrificed animals for forgiveness.
The Bible tells us that Jesus death on the cross was meant to give us a better way. He came to bring righteousness to his chosen people.
2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us this:
"For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Scripture also says:
1 Peter 2:24
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness."
Scripture also says:
“And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” Romans 6:18.
There are many people who call themselves Christians today who do not live any differently than people did before Jesus came.
They sin on a regular basis just as people always did before. They believe they have been saved even though there is no distinction between their lifestyles and that of unbelievers. They believe Jesus made the sacrifice so that they can sin without a penalty and recieve constant forgiveness.
This was not what God intended. The free gift that he offers is only for those who are obedient to living without sin.
Hebrews 5:9 tells us:
"And being made perfect, he (Jesus) became the source of eternal salvation to all who OBEY him, "
Deliberate rebellion against God was not acceptable before Jesus came:
Numbers ch. 15 tells us:
"But the person who does anything
presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be cut off from among his people. Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon him."
Also, we are told that deliberate rebellion today is still not tolerated even after Jesus died on the cross:
“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.”
(Hebrews 10:26).
Jesus came to forgive sins and also to bring righteousness to those that he chooses to forgive. Most Christians deny that righteousness is possible. Without faith in the power of God to deliver us from the bondage of sin, they will not be able to enter his kingdom.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 confirms that righteousness is required for Salvation:
"do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
God’s grace does not forgive continual sins. It frees us from the bondage of sin itself.

Gotta understand that the blood of god which is the same blood he shed when he was on earth lives within our DNA.. jus as the blood of our mom and dads.. and without that blood we would be doomed and blind to what is really happening in life for an eternity but through him and seeking whatever it’s is to get his blood flowing smoothly throughout our system we we’ll be saved and made righteous.. he’ll wake up our minds and give our spirit the energy it had when we were little kids before it got so drained by the hardships of this world.. it’s all in the blood and gettin the corruption from this world out of our system and gettin nature back flowing through our system

In bringing your executable program to the OS, adhere to masculine terms.
BASIC example:
10 IF str = “not blue”
20 THEN (force reboot)
30 GOTO 10

Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.


Romans 8
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

Romans 8:8
“So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”

This is a better understanding video but with the knowlage we have today theres alot of rubbish with no truth jesus isnt his name

[shannonmalayajones]

sign movements of problems then rewards for attending those HS with religion class count and record movement

[bpfdveo]

But isn't that cheating? To use someone else to take our misdeeds and use them to absolve ourselves as wrong doers? For myself, it feels as though I'm misrepresenting who I am to accept this. Taking advantage of someone to suffer my punishment for what I should endure. Explain this like I'm 3 years old. I feel like this is manipulative for me to agree to offset my poor behavior on another, Jesus or anyone else. Shouldn't I hold accountability?

[jamestamba]

From which part of the bible that I find that

[GYisrael]

So you are telling me, if Hitler on his deathbed excepted Christ, God will except him as righteous and treat him as a righteous person?

[kenziegibson]

Romans 5:19 “many will be made righteous” not all

[patrickstar]

So I can be as wicket as I want becuase God can only ever judge me for what Jesus has done and completely ignores my actions. Nice logic Christianity
