This document contains announcements for various church events as well as the script and notes from a Sunday school lesson on righteousness. The lesson discusses the difference between imputed and imparted righteousness, with imputed righteousness referring to God crediting believers with Christ's righteousness based on faith alone, while imparted righteousness involves God transforming believers from within through His presence to live righteously. Legalism tries to change people from without through rules, but true righteousness comes through God's grace empowering believers and conforming them to His character from within.
Right before Jesus heads off to the wilderness, he is baptised and hears God's affirmation: "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased." But what does this mean for our identity as baptised persons? This session follows the first chapter of Rowan Williams' excellent book "Being Christian"

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Sunday School Lesson!
Today we are studying the righteousness of Christ which comes to us on the basis of
faith from: Philippians 3:9
Philippians 3:9b
“not having a righteousness of our own derived from the Law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith”
Philippians 3:9b
Imputed righteousness
Imparted righteousness
The word impute means “to pass to one’s account”.
It means that God places the righteousness of Christ upon our record when we
trust in Jesus for our salvation.
When a sinner believes in Christ, he or she is spiritually united with Christ, and that
union makes it possible for God to credit believers with the righteousness of Christ.
Christ’s righteousness is a gift which can be described as a wedding garment—a
white robe of righteousness—completely covering us in Christ.
Isaiah 61:10
10 “I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed
me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a
Bridegroom decks Himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her
jewels.” Isaiah 61:10
Marriage of the Lamb Revelation 19:7-9
7 “Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb
has come and His bride has made herself ready.”
8 It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is
the righteous acts of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage
supper of the Lamb.’” Revelation 19:7-9
This declaration (God declares us “Not Guilty”) is forensic in that the legal charges
against us have been dropped and we have been declared righteous.
3. To be credited as righteous is to be conferred a legal standing of being forgiven and
no longer liable to punishment.
This new status declares me righteous in God’s sight; free from the condemnation of
sin, the fear of death, and accusations of the devil. Hebrews 2:14-15
Hebrews 2:14-15
14 “Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that
by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”
Hebrews 2:14-15
The imputed righteousness of Christ is a gift; it cannot be earned.
This gift can only be received from a grateful heart by faith alone.
Matthew 11:28-29
28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29
Jesus: gives rest = justification
We: find rest = sanctification
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Impute – justification (give rest)
Impart – sanctification (find rest)
A little faith (even the size of a mustard seed) will take your soul to Heaven.
Great faith will bring Heaven to your soul! (Allowing Him to live in you)
1 Peter 2:24
24 “Jesus Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and
live for righteousness.”
Imputed righteousness
Imparted righteousness
IMPART
1) To convey, or to grant
2) To bestow, or to transmit
3) To cause a transformation
Romans 1:11
11 “for I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may
be established”
4. 1 Thessalonians 2:8
8 “Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not
only the Gospel of God but also our own lives”
IMPART
1) To convey, or to grant
2) To bestow, or to transmit
3) To cause a transformation
PARTICIPATE
(1) To take part or to have a part; to partake
(2) To possess some of the attributes or qualities of a person (Person)
God imparts
We partake
We participate
Imputed righteousness – you have no participation in the event.
Imparted righteousness – you do participate in the process.
Impartation is Christ releasing within us His very life so that moment-by-moment we
may experience His presence enabling us to make righteous choices.
Get Thin, Stay Thin
by Arthur W. Halliday, MD
and Judy Halliday, RN
This book addresses the silent hunger of the starving soul. (the Bread of Life)
The miracle of His presence! If we invite God in, He will speak to our souls, not in
words but in the way Love expresses itself – by His presence!
God’s grace empowers us to choose rightly, to choose righteousness.
His grace brings our character into agreement with His character.
The miracle of His presence in our lives brings about our transformation.
Only God can transform a life by imparting His righteousness to us.
His grace brings freedom that conforms us from within.
Legalism is bondage that constrains us from without.
Legalism tells us to shape up and that is a deception from God’s enemy because
nothing from the outside can create a pure heart.
The Law was never meant to make us righteous but to:
1) Reveal the impurity of our hearts and
2) Reveal our desperate need for a Savior.
5. The Law taught us the behavior befitting a right relationship with the Holy of Holies
and it also produced irremediable distress.
But God’s progressive revelation paints a different picture: it places guilt in the heart
of man.
The Gospel shows the impossibility of a man with an impure heart of being able to
wipe out his guilt through perfect living.
Therefore, our remedy cannot come from man but only from a gracious God Who
grants forgiveness to those who confess their guilt instead of attempting to justify
themselves.
If you fear intimacy with God it makes it difficult to receive His grace.
