The Perfect Righteousness Of God

For righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17

For [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus. Romans 3:26

  1. Romans 1:17, Romans 3:26The perfect righteousness of God

    Romans 3:25, Hebrews 13:20Is witnessed in the Saviour's blood;

    1 Corinthians 1:18, Galatians 6:14'Tis in the cross of Christ we trace

    Romans 5:17,21, Romans 3:26His righteousness, yet wondrous grace.

  2. Romans 3:19,23, Exodus 34:7God could not pass the sinner by,

    Romans 3:19,23, Ezekiel 18:4,20Justice demands that he should die;

    1 Corinthians 1:18, Colossians 1:20But in the cross of Christ we see

    1 Corinthians 1:18, Colossians 1:20How God can save, yet righteous be.

  3. Matthew 27:45,46, 1 Peter 2:24The judgement fell on Jesus' head,

    Colossians 2:14, 1 Peter 1:19'Twas in His blood sin's debt was paid;

    Romans 2:4,5, John 19:30Stern justice can demand no more,

    Romans 11:32, Ephesians 2:4And mercy can dispense her store.

  4. Romans 10:10, John 3:16The sinner who believes is free,

    2 Corinthians 5:14,15, Galatians 2:20Can say, The Saviour died for me;

    Colossians 1:20, Ephesians 1:7Can point to the atoning blood

    Colossians 1:20, Romans 5:1And say, This made my peace with God.
