OUR PROBLEM - HIS OFFER - TRUST HIM

THE PROBLEM:  ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS WILL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE

Romans 3:10 - "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

JESUS' RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OFFERED TO ALL

Luke 23:46-47 - "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit: and having said thus, He gave up the ghost.  Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly (Jesus) was a righteous man."
2 Corinthians 5:21 - "For (God) hath made (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in (Jesus).
Romans 5:17-21 - "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of One the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.  Moreover the Law entered, that the offence might abound.  But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:  that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

 

OUR FAITH, OUR TRUST, IN GOD BRINGS US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

Genesis 15:6 - "And (Abraham) believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness."

Matthew 5:6 - "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

Matthew 6:33 - "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Romans 5:16-17 - "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

Romans 3:23 - "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."

Romans 10:9-10 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
