The righteousness of God which is by faith

Bagster's Daily Light - January 25 - Morning

The righteousness of God which is by faith ...

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 1

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"-- 3

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 4

he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 5

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-- 6
