Imputed Righteousness

Philippians 3:9 11/11/07
The Bible teaches that in order to be saved, to be accepted by God and have fellowship with Him now and for eternity, a person must be righteous – perfectly righteous. Let me say that again in case you missed it: in order to be saved, to be accepted by God and have fellowship with Him now and for eternity, you must be – perfectly righteous. We know that God Himself is perfectly righteous, that is, He speaks and acts in accordance with the purity of his own holy nature. Righteousness is an attribute of God in which He maintains what is consistent with His own character, and judges that which is opposed to it—sin. Scripture says, “Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.” (Ps 97:2) And, “Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.” (Ps 119:137) God will not wink at sin, nor will He neglect to punish it. He will not lower His righteous standard, His holy laws and commandments.
