“Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.”
Deuteronomy 9:4 KJV
Righteousness runs like a red thread throughout the whole Bible. Here, God made it very clear that it was not because of Israel’s own righteousness that He gave them victory but in spite of their stiff-necked nature. In Christ is a life of God’s righteousness. God’s law though holy could never make mankind righteous. Thank God for Jesus Who fulfilled every law and became God’s righteousness for mankind. Christ’s righteousness has been imputed to us. We practice Christ’s gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace every day to reign in life. Amen!
