Jesus Credits Our Faith as Righteousness ㅡ

“But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,”(Romans 4:5)

Righteousness is obedience to the law.

The law demands righteousness, and this the sinner owes to the law; but he is incapable of rendering it.

The only way in which he can attain to righteousness is through faith.

By faith he can bring to God the merits of Christ, and the Lord places the obedience of His Son to the sinner’s account.

Christ’s righteousness is accepted in place of man’s failure, and God receives, pardons, justifies, the repentant, believing soul, treats him as though he were righteous, and loves him as He loves His Son.

This is how faith is accounted righteousness; and the pardoned soul goes on from grace to grace, from light to a greater light.
