Episode 368 - Show Notes:
- No matter who we are, where we are from, or what we did with our lives, none of us will escape this moment. It is surely a sobering thought. I’ve heard people say, “When I get to Heaven I’m going to tell God a thing or two. I don’t understand why he allowed this or that.” No, in the radiance of his glory and power, we will likely be speechless.
- No one will spend eternity with God without being righteous, meaning that we are in right standing before God. The question is how do we become righteous? How can we be in right standing with God?
- Then Paul tells us the good news. He says, however, there is a righteousness we can receive by faith in Christ. This is a right standing before God that we receive from Jesus as we place our faith in him.
- We are not saved because of our good works, we are saved because of the good works of Jesus on our behalf. We do good works not to be saved, but because we are saved.
- So many today are afraid of death because they do not know what is beyond the grave, but for the believer in Jesus we will stand before God having been clothed in the righteousness of Jesus.
Philippians 3:8-9 - "that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.”
Isaiah 61:10 says, “I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness.”
