Jesus is your Righteousness
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)Of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. (1 Corinthians 1:30) (Being) found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith. (Philippians 3:9) Just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Therefore know that only those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham. (Galatians 3:6,7) To him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5) If by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17) What the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin; He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:3,4) What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith. (Romans 9:30) Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and who He justified, these He also glorified. (Romans 8:29,30) The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. (Isaiah 32:17) With the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)
