RIGHTEOUSNESS  8-2-2020

Righteousness is our mantle. We have inherited righteousness which is God righteousness. Faith or trust in God is righteousness. Starting with Abraham. Even before Jesus finished his work. A mantle is a covering also an important job that passes from one generation to the next. If God judges us in righteousness then he favors those who are righteous. He sees himself in us. Righteousness  becomes us our position and state of being. Right- wiseness 

Isa 64:6  For we have all become like one who is unclean [ceremonially, like a leper], and all our righteousness (our best deeds of rightness and justice) is like filthy rags or a polluted garment; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away [far from God's favor, hurrying us toward destruction].  

Job 22:3 So what if you were righteous would God Almighty even notice? Even if you gave a perfect performance, do you think he'd applaud? MSG

Ro 10:9 Now your salvation is realized! Your own words echo Gods voice. The unveiling of the masterful act of Jesus formed the words in your mouth, inspired by the conviction in your heart that God indeed raised him from the dead.

ROM 1:17 This gospel unveils a continual revelation of Gods righteousness a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe.

Rom 1:17 Herein lies the secret power of the gospel; there is no good news in it until the righteousness of God is revealed!
