The Bible talks a lot about the righteous man. What makes a man righteous?
1) Surely not our own righteousness!
(Titus 3:5) not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
(Isa 64:6) But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.
2) The righteousness of Christ makes a man righteous.
(2 Cor 5:21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
(Isa 61:10) I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Are you robed in the righteousness of Christ?
