The Force Of Righteousness

Core Text God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21

Preamble The Bible speaks much about the holiness of God and about something called righteousness. To many people the matter of righteousness is a mystery. For a very wide range of reasons, many people think less of themselves than they should. As a result, they think that God is too holy for them or too unreachable because of their own misgivings about themselves.

Paul said in Romans twelve that we should not have too high an opinion of ourselves, but the converse is equally as true. We should not think less of ourselves than we often do. When we do that, several things happenFirstly, it is insulting God! He has done many wonderful and amazing things for us to ensure that we are His sons and that we can walk uprightly, without fear of condemnation in perfect union and fellowship with Him. Jesus paid a very high price for our redemption. He has redeemed us from the curse and its penalties and has reconciled us to the Father by His vicarious sacrifice on the cross. The second thing that we do is to ourselves. We place ourselves in a position whereby we cannot walk with God in the full and complete liberty Jesus gave us. We then miss out on a wonderful relationship with God with the accompanying benefits. The Force Of Righteousness is a bible study that reveals the essential truth that we are the righteousness of God… in Christ. We shall also look at the topic of Justification and we shall conclude this study with issues of The Law addressing the question of “Are we under The Law or under Grace”?
