You Need HIS
Righteousness!
By David J. Stewart
"But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all
these things shall be
added unto you." —
Matthew 6:33
Matthew
6:33 teaches
that we are
saved by
Jesus'
righteousness
and not by
any self-righteousness of
our own (for we have
none to offer God). All
men have fallen short of
the glory of God (Romans
3:23). If it were possible
for a man to redeem
himself, then Christ would
not have had to enter this
world and die on the
cross. Jesus paid a debt
that He did not owe,
because we owed a debt
that we could not pay.
Biblical repentance is the
recognition of my
sinnership—the owning
before God that I am as
vile as He has declared me
to be in His holy Word.
God will forgive anybody
who looks to Jesus to be
saved, no matter how
deep in sin you may be.
The Word of God plainly
teaches that eternal life is
a FREE GIFT (Romans
5:15), paid for by Jesus'
precious blood (1st Peter
1:18,19). Amen! Salvation
is receiving, not giving. It
is not what we do that
saves us; but rather, what
Christ has done for us in
His work of redemption.
The Bible proclaims that
Jesus died, was buried and
rose again. This is the
good news (the gospel)...
1st Corinthians 15:1-4,
“Moreover, brethren, I
declare unto you the
gospel which I preached
unto you, which also ye
have received, and
wherein ye stand; By
which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory
what I preached unto
you, unless ye have
believed in vain. For I
delivered unto you first
of all that which I also
received, how that Christ
died for our sins
according to the
scriptures; And that he
was buried, and that he
rose again the third day
according to the
scriptures.”
Salvation is of the Lord,
not man. A person does
not have to stop living in
sin to be saved , for that
would make salvation a
reward instead of a free
gift. A changed life is the
result of genuine
repentance, and not a part
of saving-faith (2nd
Corinthians 5:17). We
don't give up our sins to
get saved; we give up our
sins because WE ARE
SAVED. God makes the
change. Salvation is by
grace through faith alone
in Christ (Ephesians 2:8,9).
Many religions today
falsely teach that a person
is required to be baptized
in order to go to Heaven.
Other religions falsely
teach that a person is
required to forsake their
sins in order to go to
Heaven.
Some religions falsely
require a person to
observe the Sabbath, tithe,
partake of Sacraments, or
join a certain religious
denomination to go to
Heaven. These are all lies
of the Devil, who is the
father of all liars (John
8:44).
Eternal life is a free gift
(Romans 6:23).
The truth of God's Word is
that we need Jesus'
righteousness in order to
be saved and go to
Heaven one day.
This is because we have
no righteousness of our
own to offer God (Romans
3:10; James 2:10).
All we can offer God is our
own self-righteousness,
which is not acceptable to
God (Isaiah 64:6).
We need Jesus'
righteousness, which is by
faith in Him alone for
salvation...
"For he [God the Father]
hath made him [Jesus the
Son] to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we
might be made the
righteousness of God in
him."
Jesus paid for our sins
with His blood.
We
read
in
Romans 10:3-4, "For they
being ignorant of God's
righteousness, and going
about to establish their
own righteousness, have
not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of
God. For Christ is the end
of the law for
righteousness to every
one that believeth."
Salvation is found ONLY in
Jesus Christ! Would you
like to be saved?
Admit that you are a
GUILTY sinner, under the
condemnation of God's
Law, deserving of Hellfire.
Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ to forgive your sins
and save you. Believe that
Christ died, was buried
and rose again for your
sins.
"But as many as received
him, to them gave he
power to become the sons
of God, even to them that
believe on his name." —
John 1:12
Soulwinning is not an
option in the Christian life,
it is a divine command
from the Lord (Proverb
11:30; Daniel 12:3;
Matthew 28:19,20; Luke
14:23). If you are a born-
again Christian, then I
plead with you in Jesus'
name to become
aggressive about
soulwinning.
"In flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that
know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ."
—2nd Thessalonians 1:8

No, I don't.
