What is Satan’s accusation toward God?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

Learn about the blessedness of salvation and how it refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This blessedness leads to heirship, as believers are granted to be heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Sin cannot keep a justified person from the blessings of God, and the blessing of forgiveness qualifies believers to become heirs. According to Romans 3:26, the blessing of forgiveness also qualifies God to make believers heirs, so that He may be “just and the justifier of Him who believes in Jesus.” If you are seeking assurance of salvation, look no further than the grace of God, who justifies and forgives those who believe in Jesus. Keywords include assurance of salvation, grace, justification, righteousness, forgiveness, and inheritance.

What is the righteousness of the law?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

Learn about the righteousness of the law and its purpose in exposing sin and leading humans to faith in Christ. While the law is holy and good, it cannot correct the problem of sin, only point us to the reality of righteousness found in Christ. The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is actually the law of Moses, focused on the 9th commandment, “thou shalt not covet.” Christ is the righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees and Saducees, and through His redemptive work, we are justified and made heirs of the kingdom. The Law serves as a magnifying glass for sin, but ultimately, God’s desire is for us to turn to faith in Christ.

Leave a Comment / Christ vs Law for Sanctification / By DavidBenjamininChrist

The blood of Jesus sanctified the altar. He is the real offering, and He is the real altar. He sanctified us with His blood and presented us to God in Himself. In Christ, we are on the real altar. We are those who are presenting ourselves (in Him) as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable (which is our reasonable service of worship) (Rom 12:1-4). We are holy because of our union with Christ and our contact with the altar.
