The Lord Our Righteousness

This message first considers the background for the righteousness of God in Christ. The background involves the character of God, the nature of God's Law, the unrighteousness of man and the necessity for righteousness in order to stand in God's presence. The bringing about of this righteousness was accomplished by Christ's work of obedience in His life and death. He lived in whole souled conformity to all the demands of the letter and spirit of the Law and the endured the whole penalty the violated Law demanded. The message concludes with John Bunyan's testimony to the impact of 1 Corinthians 1:30 upon him.
