(I) GOD’s Righteousness is expressed in & thru’ the Testimony of JESUS, in which the Law stands fulfilled:
o John 14:6; 15:4-5 (NASB) reads: < Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” …. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” >
o Romans 3:21-28 (KJV) reads: < But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. >
(II) GOD’s Righteousness is manifested through the Word of Faith that stands in our mouth and in our heart:
o Romans 10:8-11 (NASB) reads: < But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”–that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” >
o Jeremiah 1:11-12 (NASB) reads: < The word of the LORD came to me saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a rod of an almond tree.” Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.” >
(III) GOD’s Righteousness is manifested in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST that defines the fabric of the Body of MESSIAH, in form and function:
o John 1:16-18 (NKJV) reads: < And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. >
o Ephesians 1:22c-23 (NASB) reads: < … the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. >
o 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NASB) reads: < He (the FATHER) made Him (YESHUA) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. >
o Ephesians 2:10, 8-9 (NKJV) reads: < For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. …. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. >
(IV) GOD’s Righteousness operates in us and through us by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS
o Romans 8:2-4 (NASB) reads: < For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. >
o John 16:13-15 (NASB) reads: < “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.” >
(V) GOD’s Righteousness operates in the Witness of JESUS CHRIST – in Spirit, Water and Blood, to unveil the Amen, the faithful and true Witness of JESUS CHRIST, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD.
o 1 John 5:7-15 (NKJV) reads:
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
o Revelation 3:14b (NASB) declares the Witness of JESUS CHRIST as being: < The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God. >
And this is the Righteousness of YHWH fulfilled! And, all of us are called to actualize the Righteousness of YHWH predestined in our specific life, in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT! Amen!
