4 Thanks for Righteousness
Righteousness is one of the many attributes
of God that we should be thankful for. It
means that God always makes the right decision.
The same can hardly be said of us.
Righteousness is also what separates us from
God. God is righteous and we are not.
Sin can't enter into the presence of God.
So we have a problem.
Fortunately God gives us grace - God's
Righteousness at Christ's Expense - so that we
may
be considered righteous and able to enter God's
presence.
Because of God's love, He offered us
righteousness. We didn't get what we
deserved - death. We got what we didn't
deserve instead.
We have two reasons to thank God for
righteousness. We know that the decisions
that God makes will be right and we have no need
to question them. And we have the gift of
righteousness that God gives us so that we can
spend eternity with Him. |
