"The Righteousness Of Faith"

The Bible talks of two types of Righteousness – the Righteousness that is of the law and the Righteousness of faith. The Righteousness of the law is evident, known by almost all professing Christians. It is the Righteousness you get when you obey the law (commandments). It is your own Righteousness. A Righteousness of your self, self – Righteousness.
This Righteousness does not and cannot grant salvation – out of faith or in faith.

The Righteousness that is of faith on the other hand is entirely of God; completely God-given, when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Righteousness that avails/ counts as far as salvation is concerned.
It is mentioned in so many places in the Bible usually in contrast with that of the law and clearly shown and upheld to be better.
In Romans 3:21,22 and 28, the Bible says :
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference…

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

The conclusion is that in our justification (in our salvation ), the works of the laws (commandments ) are excluded.

Concerning Abraham’s possession of the Righteousness of faith, it says it was through faith without works and it is available for any who believes in Christ Jesus and that he got it when he was yet uncircumcised (Romans 4:3,5,9,11,13,22,23).

In Romans 8 : 1-4, the Bible announces that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ because what they could not do, through the keeping of the law (commandments), has been done for them by Christ and so the Righteousness of the law which could not be fulfilled by the natural man is fulfilled in the believer.

In Romans 9:30-33,
the gentiles which did not seek Righteousness got Righteousness and not just the one from the law, that does not save, but the one of faith that saves. On the contrary the Israelites who sought to be righteous by obeying the law did not get that of the law, not to talk of that which comes by faith!

In Romans 10:3,4-10, the Bible continuing with this theme of Righteousness by faith, states that the Israelites had a zeal for God but a misdirected zeal. Instead of trusting in Christ and having His Righteousness inputed/credited to their accounts, they were working up their own Righteousness (self-righteousness ) not realizing that Christ’ Righteousness was the ultimate; the Righteousness that supercedes that of the Pharisees (Matthew 5:20 ).

In Galatians 2:16, Paul affirmed that Righteousness (the Righteousness that counts, the Righteousness of faith ) does not come by the law but by faith and affirms that if it came by the law, then Christ died for nothing (Galatians 2 :21).
The Righteousness that saves does not come from the keeping of the law (Galatians 3:21.) Christ had to come because the keeping of the law could not and cannot save (Hebrews 7:11). For our Salvation, ”… God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us! ” (2 Corinthians 5:21.)

In Phillipians 3, Paul confesses that if anyone could save themselves, he was more qualified to do so and listed his credentials amongst which was ” touching the Righteousness which is of the law, blameless” (v 6). But goes on to say he counts it (the Righteousness he got from keeping the law) as dung and hopes when Christ comes, he would be found in the Righteousness which is of God by faith (8,9).

But if this Righteousness of God by faith is so clearly taught in the scriptures, why is it so scarcely taught, even in Church? For this simple reason, it makes nonsense of the teaching that salvation can be lost and exposes it as false.
