Difference between revisions of "Three Steps Toward Righteousness"

Revision as of 20:35, 20 June 2011

There are three forms of Divinely produced righteousness. The first is the familiar imputed righteousness. The second is the not so familiar joint venture of the adamic nature and the Spirit of God. The third is hardly known. It is the righteous nature of the Lord Jesus Christ formed in every part of our personality, plus the coming of the Father and the Son to dwell in us forever, plus the making alive of our physical body and the clothing of it with the robe from Heaven. This third form is the fullness of God and of righteousness.

The third form of righteousness is the purpose for the first two and is the mark toward which we are to be pressing.
