Jesus of Nazareth: The Unequaled, Incomparable Christ - Part 10

References: (1) But here is a VITAL POINT concerning our understanding of faith: we must never refer to FAITH as the CAUSE of our salvation, or of our righteousness. It is merely the INSTRUMENT, so to speak, by which we receive it. It is ONLY a CHANNEL through which the righteousness of Christ becomes ours. Faith does not SAVE us; salvation is THROUGH FAITH. The real cause of my justification is the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He has DONE. (2) “Romans in the Greek New Testament for the English Reader” by Kenneth S. Wuest. (3) From a theological standpoint, sin is anything that falls short of God’s perfect moral nature. God is HOLY by His very nature meaning He is totally and utterly SET APART from all evil. (4) God is righteous; sin is unrighteousness — a failure to be right, to be straight, to be upright, to be true. God is perfect; sin is moral imperfection. God is love; sin is being UNLOVING. God is truth; sin is being UNTRUTHFUL. This is episode 178.
