Christ as Righteousness

This topic reveals Christ as the believer’s sole righteousness, surpassing the law and human effort. It highlights that righteousness is a gift received by faith, grounded in Christ’s sacrificial life and resurrection, not law-keeping. The law only condemns and points to Christ, who fulfills righteousness by nature and grants life. Believers are called to rest in Christ’s righteousness, rejecting self-righteousness and progressive sanctification.

This topic explains Christ's substitutionary death as the basis for our imputed righteousness, emphasizing that Christ bore our sins as our substitute. It contrasts true imputed righteousness with false ideas like imparted righteousness and highlights that justification is by Christ's obedience alone, not our works, as shown in Romans 5. The death of Christ also demonstrates God's love and secures reconciliation for all who believe.

This topic distinguishes positional truth—our secure identity in Christ seated in the heavenly realm—from our earthly practical condition. It emphasizes living by faith in these settled spiritual realities, not by outward performance, showing how our daily walk flows from what is already true in Christ. The teaching roots this in Romans 5-8, highlighting the believer’s union with Christ as the foundation for victorious living.

This topic reveals that true transformation comes from reckoning on our positional truths in Christ, not from fluctuating experiences or self-effort. Believers grow by faith in what God has accomplished through Christ’s death and resurrection, living by what is true in Him. Joy and peace flow from embracing these unshakable realities, not from circumstances.

This topic exposes how legalism distorts justification by separating it from the Christian life, falsely dividing salvation and sanctification. It highlights the Galatian error of mixing law with grace and affirms that Christ alone is our righteousness and sanctification throughout our walk. Justification secures our present standing before God, not just future salvation.

This topic affirms justification by faith alone as the sole means to be declared righteous before God, apart from works. Using Romans 4 examples like Abraham and David, it shows justification secures not only forgiveness but also the full inheritance in Christ. It exposes common errors that mix works with justification and highlights the blessing of peace and sonship through faith.

This topic reveals Christ as our righteousness manifested through the Spirit of Holiness, the divine power that raised Jesus from the dead. It explains how this Spirit, the compound Spirit of Christ’s death and resurrection, dwells in believers to produce holiness, sonship, and resurrection life. Viewers will learn how the Spirit operates as Christ’s power for daily transformation and eternal glorification according to Romans 1:4 and related passages.

This topic reveals the power of identification with Christ's death and resurrection as the foundation of the Christian life. Believers are called to reckon themselves dead to sin and alive in the Spirit, growing in the likeness of His death to experience newness of life. This present reality liberates from fleshly domination and enables Christ to manifest through us by faith.

This topic reveals how believers experience freedom from condemnation by walking in Christ and according to the Spirit, not the flesh. It emphasizes reckoning ourselves dead with Christ to live in newness of life, enjoying peace and assurance grounded in gospel truth. The teaching clarifies that this freedom is a present reality, maintained by faith in Christ’s finished work and the Spirit’s life within us.

This topic explores the clear distinction between law and grace in the believer's life, emphasizing that the law condemns and exposes sin but cannot justify or give life. Grace, revealed in the gospel, provides Christ as our righteousness and newness of life, freeing us from the law's condemnation. Mixing law with grace nullifies grace, as true Christian living is by faith in Christ, not law-keeping, grounded in Romans and Galatians teachings.
