The Lord our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:6
This is a remarkable declaration: The Lord is our righteousness. All my righteousness is as filthy rags and tainted by sin. His righteousness becomes mine by the simple reception of faith. This is the heart of the gospel.

In Romans 10 the apostle Paul says it this way:

Romans 10:3-4
Because they disregarded the righteousness from God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to God’s righteousness.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Jesus is kingJesus is King

“What would it look like to stop treating Jesus as simply a role model and start serving Him as our sovereign king?” Blog post Reasonable Theology

Good Question.
Jesus is the ruling Monarch (Sovereign) of the universe.
His rule is established in His humanity by the fact that He was born of David. His rule is demonstrated by the fact that death could not hold Him. Death is man’s greatest foe-yet even death could not defeat Jesus. View full article »

Apex of CreationApex of Creation

Many in the world today look at man more like a virus or a pimple on the face of the planet than the highest of God’s creation.
