4 ASPECTS OF
                  RIGHTEOUSNESS
                      God is righteous - 1 Jn 1:5
                        Man is not - Rom 3:10
         Righteousness is a gift of God to man - Rom 3:22

A. GOD IS RIGHTEOUS
Rom 3:25-26 God presented
Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,
through the shedding of his blood
—to be received by faith. He did
this to demonstrate his
righteousness, because in his
forbearance he had left the sins
committed beforehand
unpunished— he did it to
demonstrate his righteousness at
the present time, so as to be just
and the one who justifies those
who have faith in Jesus.
Monday 25 July 2011
God is righteous and cannot turn
from that - he does not, and
cannot allow sin, and all who do
sin come under his judgment.
God does not sin in any way -
the Gospel does not make light
of sin but exalts God who bears
all the judgements and
punishments which are rightly
the result of sin - God does this
in love and enables the sinner to
pass from condemnation to
righteousness.
Jn 3:18, 5:24, Rom 8:1, 1 Cor
11:32
Monday 25 July 2011
B. THE SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MAN

Rom 10:3 -Since they did not
know the righteousness of God
and sought to establish their
own, they did not submit to
God’s righteousness.
Isa 64:6 -All of us have become
like one who is unclean, and all
our righteous acts are like filthy
rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins
sweep us away.

Monday 25 July 2011
Rom 3:9-18 records sin as
    God sees it and fully
    describes mans condition.
    In society we have man
    made standards for
    righteousness - yet each
    stands before God and is
    judged as God sees them,
    not by other men. Only
    through God’s grace and
    his provision in Christ will
    anyone enter heaven.

C. THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD



Through this we
understand how God
condemns the sinner
and saves the
Christian.




Monday 25 July 2011
C. 1. IMPUTATION IS SHOWN IN ADAM’S
      SIN BEING IMPUTED TO THE WHOLE
                HUMAN RACE
Rom 5:12-21, and also the
sin of man is imputed to
Christ when he became a sin
offering for the whole world -
2 Cor 5:14, Heb 2:9, 1 Jn
2:2
Righteousness from God, in
Christ, is imputed to all who
believe - 1 Cor 1:30, 2 Cor
5:21

Monday 25 July 2011
Obviously this is not by
works, observing the law
etc. - Rom 3:21 - But now
apart from the law the
righteousness of God has
been made known, to
which the Law and the
Prophets testify.
Being imputed with the
righteousness of God
means it is not affected by
how good or bad the
person is.

Monday 25 July 2011
C. 2. THE RESULT OF IMPUTATION IS SEEN
  IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BEING
   ON A BELIEVER WHEN WE ARE IN CHRIST
     We are united with Christ by the HSp - God then
     sees us as his own son - Jn 17:23 - he loves and
     accepts us - and also accounts to us the
     righteousness of God
     2 Cor 5:21 -For our sake he made him to be sin
     who knew no sin, so that in him we might become
     the righteousness of God.
     Rom 3:21-22 - But now the righteousness of God
     has been manifested apart from the law, although
     the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the
     righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ
     for all who believe.
Monday 25 July 2011
C. 3. BIBLICAL ILLUSTRATIONS OF IMPUTATION
Adam & Eve - clothed in skins -
needed the shedding of blood.
Abraham by believing God - Gen
15:6, Rom 4:9-22
Priests of old - clothed in
righteousness - Ps 139:2
Believer is robed in a garment of
righteousness - Rev 19:8 -
Paul and Philemon 17-18 - So if
you consider me a partner,
welcome him as you would
welcome me. If he has done you
any wrong or owes you anything,
charge it to me.
Monday 25 July 2011
C. 4. IMPUTATION AFFECTS THE
                 STANDING AND NOT THE STATE


It is put upon us - even
though we still sin - it is
nothing to do with our
works - yet it is an
eternal standing for our
lives.




Monday 25 July 2011
C. 5. IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE
            GROUND OF JUSTIFICATION

 NT - righteousness and
 justify are from the same
 root.
 God declares as justified
 forever the one whom he
 sees in Christ.
 Justification is not a
 feeling it is a certain fact
 for the mind of God.           Rungnado May Day
                                  Stadium - seats
                                     150,000
Monday 25 July 2011
It is; By faith - Rom 5:1
Through grace - Titus
3:4-7
On the basis of the death
and resurrection of Christ -
Rom 3:24, 4:25
It is abiding and
unchanging resting on what
God has decreed.
In forgiveness our sin is
cancelled, a -ve activity
- in justification
righteousness is imputed, a
+ve activity.

Monday 25 July 2011
D. RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPARTED BY THE SPIRIT
Filled with the Spirit the child of
God produces;
Righteous works - Rom 8:4
Fruit - Gal 5:22-23
Gifts - 1 Cor 12:7ff
These are produced in the
believer by the Spirit of God -
who is walking in the Spirit and
not the flesh - in essence the
will of God is now fulfilled in the
life of the believer - this could
not be done by the believer but
is done in them, a life imparted
with the righteousness of God.

Chafer, Bible Doctrines: 4 aspects of righteousness

  • 1. 4 ASPECTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS God is righteous - 1 Jn 1:5 Man is not - Rom 3:10 Righteousness is a gift of God to man - Rom 3:22 Monday 25 July 2011
  • 3. A. GOD IS RIGHTEOUS Rom 3:25-26 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood —to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 4. God is righteous and cannot turn from that - he does not, and cannot allow sin, and all who do sin come under his judgment. God does not sin in any way - the Gospel does not make light of sin but exalts God who bears all the judgements and punishments which are rightly the result of sin - God does this in love and enables the sinner to pass from condemnation to righteousness. Jn 3:18, 5:24, Rom 8:1, 1 Cor 11:32 Monday 25 July 2011
  • 5. B. THE SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MAN Rom 10:3 -Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Isa 64:6 -All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 6. Rom 3:9-18 records sin as God sees it and fully describes mans condition. In society we have man made standards for righteousness - yet each stands before God and is judged as God sees them, not by other men. Only through God’s grace and his provision in Christ will anyone enter heaven. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 7. What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already Rom 3:9-18 records sin charged that all, both Jews and as Greeks, are under sin, fullyis written: God sees it and as it "None is righteous, no,condition. one describes mans not one; no understands; no one seeks for God. All In society we have man have turned aside; together they have made standards for become worthless; no one does good, notrighteousness - yet each even one." "Their throat is an open grave; they use stands before God and is their tongues toGod sees them, judged as deceive.""The venom of asps is under their lips." not by other men. Only "Their mouth is full of curses and through God’s grace and bitterness.""Their feet are swift to shed his provision in Christ will blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have anyone enter heaven. not known.""There is no fear of God before their eyes." Monday 25 July 2011
  • 8. Rom 3:9-18 records sin as God sees it and fully describes mans condition. In society we have man made standards for righteousness - yet each stands before God and is judged as God sees them, not by other men. Only through God’s grace and his provision in Christ will anyone enter heaven. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 9. C. THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD Through this we understand how God condemns the sinner and saves the Christian. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 10. C. 1. IMPUTATION IS SHOWN IN ADAM’S SIN BEING IMPUTED TO THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE Rom 5:12-21, and also the sin of man is imputed to Christ when he became a sin offering for the whole world - 2 Cor 5:14, Heb 2:9, 1 Jn 2:2 Righteousness from God, in Christ, is imputed to all who believe - 1 Cor 1:30, 2 Cor 5:21 Monday 25 July 2011
  • 11. Obviously this is not by works, observing the law etc. - Rom 3:21 - But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. Being imputed with the righteousness of God means it is not affected by how good or bad the person is. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 12. C. 2. THE RESULT OF IMPUTATION IS SEEN IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BEING ON A BELIEVER WHEN WE ARE IN CHRIST We are united with Christ by the HSp - God then sees us as his own son - Jn 17:23 - he loves and accepts us - and also accounts to us the righteousness of God 2 Cor 5:21 -For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Rom 3:21-22 - But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 13. C. 3. BIBLICAL ILLUSTRATIONS OF IMPUTATION Adam & Eve - clothed in skins - needed the shedding of blood. Abraham by believing God - Gen 15:6, Rom 4:9-22 Priests of old - clothed in righteousness - Ps 139:2 Believer is robed in a garment of righteousness - Rev 19:8 - Paul and Philemon 17-18 - So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 14. C. 4. IMPUTATION AFFECTS THE STANDING AND NOT THE STATE It is put upon us - even though we still sin - it is nothing to do with our works - yet it is an eternal standing for our lives. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 15. C. 5. IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE GROUND OF JUSTIFICATION NT - righteousness and justify are from the same root. God declares as justified forever the one whom he sees in Christ. Justification is not a feeling it is a certain fact for the mind of God. Rungnado May Day Stadium - seats 150,000 Monday 25 July 2011
  • 16. It is; By faith - Rom 5:1 Through grace - Titus 3:4-7 On the basis of the death and resurrection of Christ - Rom 3:24, 4:25 It is abiding and unchanging resting on what God has decreed. In forgiveness our sin is cancelled, a -ve activity - in justification righteousness is imputed, a +ve activity. Monday 25 July 2011
  • 17. D. RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPARTED BY THE SPIRIT Filled with the Spirit the child of God produces; Righteous works - Rom 8:4 Fruit - Gal 5:22-23 Gifts - 1 Cor 12:7ff These are produced in the believer by the Spirit of God - who is walking in the Spirit and not the flesh - in essence the will of God is now fulfilled in the life of the believer - this could not be done by the believer but is done in them, a life imparted with the righteousness of God. Monday 25 July 2011
