The law is not intended for the person whose obedience springs out of a desire to please God. It is for those who are distracted by the present world, to turn their eyes toward God. 

By the power of the Holy Spirit promised in the New Covenant, Christ turns believers from all iniquity and empowers us to live out the righteousness he credits to us.

The power of faith is believing what Christ has accomplished for us and attributing it to the righteousness of God. 

Because of our faith in Jesus and his redeeming work, the Lord credits the righteousness of Christ to us, and we are reckoned as perfect in him. 

There is meat available to every believer, spiritual food that will cause us to grow mature in the righteousness of Christ.

It is time we stopped measuring our righteousness against that of others. God has imputed to you the full measure of perfect righteousness in Christ. 

When Jesus ascended to the Father, his perfect obedience had fulfilled all the demands of the law, and his blood was presented in full payment for our sin. 

God has provided each one of us with an inheritance whereby we can stand before him with perfect righteousness in Jesus Christ, and we should want it. 

Jesus gave his followers an inheritance that can make us far richer than any person on the face of the earth. It is an inheritance to a perfect righteousness.

God doesn’t have to send an angel to speak to his children; he has already put his resources within each one of us: the Holy Spirit himself.
