| EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS The righteousness which is ours by imputation and impartation
is the righteousness of One Who is infinitely and immutably righteous
- The Lord Jesus Christ. Even when our sin was imputed to Him He remained
righteous because He was God, and God cannot be anything less than righteous.
When He was made sin for us, it was not His transgression, but ours
for which He suffered death as a man. In this great transaction there
is a great mystery of which we can only comprehend in part. Two great
truths (many more than two) are revealed in the substitutionary death
of our Lord…#1. In His death He was made sin -
2Co 5:21 For He hath made
Him [to be] sin for us, Who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. #2.
In His death He did not sin - Php
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross. The Lord Jesus Christ died justly because He was made our
sin (our sin became His)- 1Peter 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit….He died righteously because did no
sin, had no sin of His own (Who knew no sin) and was
obedient to the will and law of God. Therefore it is equally true that
He knew no sin as it is that He was made sin.
If Christ our Lord be the same yesterday, today, and forever…If
He be indeed God in the flesh…Then indeed His righteousness is
an everlasting righteousness, and all those to whom His righteousness
is imputed has an everlasting righteousness as well. Tommy
