The righteousness of God.
Nothing can compare to the righteousness of God, nothing.
Jesus the One who lived the law perfectly.
How do I know this? Because Jesus was without sin. To be without sin means to have kept the law perfectly because sin is the transgressing of the law. To be without sin is to have never transgressed the law of God.
The law of God is a heart law, so far beyond the mere letter of the law. Jesus explained that truth fully when He walked the earth in human flesh. He explained that our thoughts alone can be sinful- is it any wonder there is no human besides our Savior who hasn't sinned?
The righteousness of God is the perfection of His law in the flesh, kept from the heart perfectly.
All glory to God! All praise and honor unto Him!
(Excerpt)
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.
The Righteousness of God.
While there is no chance for the despiser of God's law to evade its claims under cover of the expression, "the righteousness of God apart from the law," there is also no need for the lover of that law to fear that the preaching of righteousness by faith will tend to bring in a spurious righteousness.
Such is guarded against by the statement that the righteousness must be witnessed by the law, and further by the statement that this righteousness which is manifested apart from the law is the righteousness of God. No one need fear that he will be wrong if he has that righteousness!
To seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness is the one thing required of us in this life. Matt 6:33.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
