We need God's righteousness, not our own

I don't want to be ignorant of God's righteousness, do you?

I'm going to study more on God's righteousness, by HIS grace and to start that study off  here are a few verses--

Rom 10:3  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.

The righteousness of God.

Or our own righteousness?

We do have a thing we call our own righteousness and this thing is deception. We deceive ourselves with our own righteousness. We call the things we do right, and use them to justify ourselves, believing we have goodness, that we have righteousness in ourselves to save ourselves.

We cannot save ourselves, we can NEVER save ourselves.

Let's read more… let's study more, please LORD help us to know You and Your righteousness. Help us to recognize the wrongness of our own righteousness. Let us be YOURS through faith, by Jesus Christ!

2Pe_1:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ

2Ti 4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Php_3:9  And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith

Gal_5:5  For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Eph_4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Gal_3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

2Co_5:21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him

Rom_10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

We're going to study this much more in-depth, Lord willing.

We need the righteousness which is GOD's, only HIS righteousness!


Please, Lord, please.
