52. The Gift of God's Righteousness

This time I'm doing a teaching that's a bit longer than normal for the Grace Roots podcast, although it's a very simple teaching. The Apostle Paul reveals to us that the righteousness of God is something that we can never earn or maintain through keeping God's law or through our good works. The good news is that while we were sinners, and had never done anything good, and had never done anything right, God made us right by giving us His very own righteousness. This could never be accomplished through the law. It's something that can only come from God. He gives it to us freely, by His grace, through faith, not our works.

33. The Gift of His Grace

Everything that we have in Christ is the result of the gift of God's grace. Apart from Christ we were all sinners, and even our righteous deeds counted as filthy rags to God. But God showed His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Christ died for the ungodly. God Himself has justified us by the gift of His grace.

4. No Room for Judging Others

How many people use God's law, or some other arbitrary list of rules of right and wrong, to judge and condemn other people? It's all too common, unfortunately, and this can be especially true in the church! But our job isn't to point fingers at each other. Any list of rules or laws should really show us that we have ALL fallen short, and therefore there is no room for judging others. And then we have the joy and privilege of sharing the good news of God's free gift of righteousness!
