Paul says, \u201cI am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for therein is the righteousness of God revealed\u201d. God Almighty is just and righteous in accepting sinners clothed with the righteousness of their appointed Substitute. The righteousness of God is not revealed by the light of nature or by the works of man. Only the \u201cgood news\u201d of the gospel of Christ reveals and declares this wondrous work and transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Man has naught to accomplish or perform, therefore we glory in Christ and Him alone, and we are not ashamed \u2013 \u201cTo declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.\u00a0Romans 3:26. In the gospel of Christ is the answer to the unanswerable question in\u00a0Job 9:2 \u201cI know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The glory of His righteousness is revealed to us and in us here by His Spirit by the preaching of the gospel, and will one day be revealed openly and universally for all to behold and wonder \u2013 \u201cIn those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.\u201d\u00a0Jer 33:16.<\/p>\n<p>This is what the gospel is all about \u2013 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.\u00a0Isa 53:11. We may rightfully be ashamed of any other so-called gospel. Any messenger with any other message is accursed of God \u2013 \u201cAs we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed\u201d.\u00a0Galatians 1:9 \u2013Tommy robbins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Righteousness revealed \u201c\u2026I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ\u2026for therein is the righteousness of God revealed\u2026\u201d\u00a0Romans 1:16-17 The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ reveals the righteousness of God in the justifying work of Christ which He wrought for the elect and is credited to their account before God, and is imputed to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,61,64,68,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-author-tommy-robbins","category-believers-assurance","category-successful-saviour","category-christ-his-person-and-excellencies","category-righteousness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3323"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3323\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3324,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3323\/revisions\/3324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shoalhavengospelchurch.org.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
