Love this! NT Wright defines "righteousness" as "covenant faithfulness." God is faithful to his promises. In the victory of the cross, we actually become what God said he'd do to restore humanity in Christ Jesus. In Him, we become the righteousness of God. Truly beautiful.
Yes!, Dr Watson. And in addition to what you have written, “ His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his glory and goodness. By these he has given us very real promises, so that through them you may share In the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.” (2 Peter 1: 3-4)
Thanks Dr. Watson for this wonderful piece. I am personally thankful for the enduring victory that believers have in Jesus when we say yes to Him. Grace and peace.
Gospel of Jesus replacing the Gospel of Caesars! The Lamb of God restoring humanity! Thanks be to his Name. Thank you David.
